its actually sql on top of elasticsearch

  That is bad. I've done a lot of work with Elasticsearch[1] and while it's a great search engine, it is NOT a primary source of truth or something you want to trust not to lose your data. [1]: Built a startup's product on top of it and have written an open source client library for it.

    why ? at least i remember they didn't recommend it for database until the backup funcionality was done

      Most people aren't good enough at backups for me to consider that enough to mitigate the risks. The data needs to go somewhere other than ES before you considered it "saved".
