Content Hack Day post: Lessons learned elasticsearch on gitlab.com

Mario de la Ossa requested to merge lessons_learned_es_on_dot_com into master

What is this blog post about?

The Plan team (with the help of Nick and Valery) have been attempting to get our Elasticsearch indexes and supporting code ready for Gitlab.com - it has been a frustrating game of attempting different possible fixes and hitting wall after wall. We're still not 100% certain on how we're going to fix this, but we have a roadmap we're mostly happy with and can talk (in detail) about things we've tried as a data source for how Elasticsearch behaves with different indexing changes.

What are the relevant issue numbers?
