---------------------------------------
Summary: Add serializer to ElasticSearchSink for new logstash v1
format
Key: FLUME-2099
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2099
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Sinks+Sources
Affects Versions: v1.4.0
Reporter: Edward Sargisson
The logstash maintainer has implemented an improved message schema for
elasticsearch which he plans to deploy in the next version
https://logstash.jira.com/browse/LOGSTASH-675
The ElasticSearchSink aims to allow users to write just as if logstash does -
largely so Kibana can work. A serializer should be added to allow the new
format to be used.
Benefits (from the logstash work item):
* kibana isn't polluted with "@" symbols everywhere
* most relevant data is in 'event fields' which is now top-level, no longer
"@fields.somefield"
* fewer "required" event fields.
* the 'json' input format can go away or generally mean the same thing as
json_event
