Elastic search over an already existing lucene index

I have a system that uses lucene. Now for a few reasons I would like to add a distributed search feature over it.

The question is can I use the existing lucene index created by the IndexWriter of lucene, for searching with elastic search or should I create a new index using ES's IndexWriter.

P.S I discovered over the web that this is possible with solr, but afaik couldn't find anything tangible for es. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to reindex into ElasticSearch, you can't reuse an existing Lucene index.
