Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6043 @cjolif I agree, let's do something here. @tzulitai what do you think about trying to use the switch to REST to make a clean cut and start a new connector project (without dependency on `flink-connector-elasticsearch-base`). As an experiment, we could try how much code we would actually need to copy into the new project. @aljoscha and @patricklucas I remember you also had some thoughts on the elasticsearch connectors. I am +1 for seeing if we can drop ElasticSearch 1.x and 2.x support, but that should be a separate thread.
