Note to self: Managed to work out the full rule concept at scale using elasticsearch and the percolator concept. Unfortunately, official python ES clients have dropped percolator support making it unclear how to best achieve the rules engine. It may be worth just issuing commands via requests and moving on versus finding a truly supported method.
