ElasticSearch is a lot more than just a "stringified wrapper around Lucene". Lucene is used for the underlying inverted indexes, the item store and tokenization/analysis, and that's pretty much it. ES adds clustering, a query DSL, configuration, data mapping system, "river" functionality, HTTP API etc.
