To summarize the summary, it neither makes sense to precisely define NoSQL, nor to simply say that Elasticsearch is a "document store"-type NoSQL-database. At the time of writing, nosql-database.org lists >20 of those.

Elasticsearch is a document oriented database

Maybe it is nice, if I don't have many writes.

Ah, ok. I think elasticsearch is a search engine first and foremost. After that a document-store.
