As a high-level comment, I think we may want start making the ElasticSearch
connectors projects independent of each other.
We previously tried to share code between versions, which has made things
clumsy both from the dependency management and the implementation (api bridges,
etc.). It also couples different versions, such that a bug fix in one connector
version often affects other connectors as well.
The REST-based client may be a good time to start clean, create a new
project with no dependencies on the base connector project, and copy the
necessary code over.
What do you think?
