Matt Wise created FLUME-2838:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Syslog Sinks use 'flume.syslog.status' header which 
breaks in ElasticSearch 2.0
                 Key: FLUME-2838
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2838
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Sinks+Sources
    Affects Versions: v1.6.0
            Reporter: Matt Wise


The EVENT_STATUS header is written to a header named 'flume.syslog.status' -- 
this header works fine in Flume itself, but breaks in ElasticSearch: 
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.0/_mapping_changes.html#_field_names_may_not_contain_dots

The offending code is here: 
https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/67ed62aa18df3675b68369d0d00c8f0dcbdfb970/flume-ng-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flume/source/SyslogUtils.java#L92
  (And in a few other places)

This should be easily fixable by renaming the field to 'Status' -- which is 
more in-line with the rest of the fields there anyways.
