Hi all, 

What are we doing with integrations having no maintainer?

An example is the morphline sink. It supports Solr 4.3 and Apache has already 
relased Solr 7.5.0. 
Kite SDK is at 1.1.
Seems that no one is taking care of it.

On the other site we are still "supporting" Elasticsearch 0.90.1, while 
ElasticSearch is already on 6.5.
Having a dependency of Lucene between Solr and Elastic I cannot push my changes 
to flume.

So while there would be a maintainer for ElasticSearch, new features cannot be 
introduced, because of the above.

Shouldn't we deprecate old stuff, where no maintainer is active?
If 1.9 is released with support of outdated SOLR and ElasticSearch, no one 
would use Flume anyhow.
I doubt that someone would downgrade the ElasticSearch cluster to 0.90 just to 
be able to pump in events via Flume.

I keep a working ElasticSearch 6.x Fork anyhow, but would like to contribute 
back to the project.

Note: I have tried to upgrade SOLR support to the newest version, but it fails 
on the test cases and I don't have anything to test.


Thanks,

Helmut
