A list of the extension points exposed by ElasticSearch (as of 0.19.4)
- Analysis plugins - use different kinds of analyzers
- River plugins - A river is an external datasource which ES indexes
- Transport plugins - Different means of exposing ES API, e.g. Thrift, memcached
- Site plugins - for running various ES-related webapps, like the ES head admin webapp
- Custom REST endpoint - lets you define a REST action by extending BaseRestHandler.
- Scripting plugins - providing support for using different scripting languages as search scripts
- NativeScripts - loosely equivalent to Solr's FunctionQuery. Allows you to return "script fields", custom scores or perform search filtering.
As far as I can tell (from the source), there's no equivalent of Solr's SearchComponent, which allows you to modify the search request processing pipeline in an extremely flexible manner.
