I've heard of people doing it but it is not recommended. One of the biggest implementation breakthroughs is that - after the initial learning curve - you will start mapping your input data to signals. Those signals will not look very much like your original data and therefore are not terribly suitable to be the source of it.
We are talking copyFields, UpdateRequestProcessor pre-processing, fields that are not stored, nested documents flattening, denormalization, etc. Getting back from that to original shape of data is painful.
