It's really straight-forward for simple usage. There's no official river for mongoDB, so for now, since I've got very small documents, I just save in MongoDB, and then index an even smaller searchable document in ElasticSearch. My front-end talks to ElasticSearch through a simple node/expressjs route, which was made far simpler by this NPM module -->
I apologize for using the term "combining" as it's slightly misleading. I actually use ElasticSearch for search functionality only. I use MongoDB for the standard DB stuff (read, update, etc...)
