In production we run CirrusSearch against Elasticsearch with a bunch of plugins installed - wikimedia-extra and the experimental highlighter. But Cirrus is capable of running without them. It'd be simpler for us if we simply mandated that they be installed. I created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101029 to talk about it by my current feeling is that it probably wouldn't be a huge hardship to make those plugins required.
Opinions?

Do you mean that we should or shouldn't support it? Or that we should somehow create another plugin on top of cirrus that enhances it with extra features only if those Elasticsearch plugins are installed?
I mean I support the idea of making things work independently. i.e. CirrusSearch works with or without the ES plugins, taking advantage of them (e.g. implicitly) if present.

Of course I don't support the idea of unnecessary complexity. If this makes things harder on us without buying anything for the users, then never mind. :]

I'm just a bit concerned that it doesn't buy much for non-wmf users. I expect many wouldn't have trouble installing the plugins. I'd love to hear from anyone. So I sent this mail.
