+When path mapping is defined, the attribute name can be defined using the [[primaryKey()]] method.

+- As elasticsearch is not only a data storage but also a search engine there is of course support added for search your records.
   There are `query()`, `filter()` and `addFacets()` methods that allows to compose an elasticsearch query.
   See the usage example below on how they work and check out the [Query DSL](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl.html)

 - It is also possible to define relations from elasticsearch ActiveRecords to normal ActiveRecord classes and vice versa.
 
-Elasticsearch separates primary key from attributes. You need to set the `id` property of the record to set its primary key.
