Hello guys,

As working on the upgrade to ElasticSearch 8.2, I've been wondering if it was still worth it to keep the elasticsearch metrics reporter module.

Since we expose a metrics endpoint that tools like prometheus can just call to scrap metrics out of James, I think the es metrics reporter has not been really maintained and/or used since es v6.

As such, we decided to remove it. It allows to reduce the number of modules loaded by James and also reduce the cost of maintenance.

But maybe other people are still using it? If a part of the community still want to use it with the switch to ES8, they can put it back and migrate it, but we would appreciate that they can assume the maintenance of it as well.

Also removed the logback-elasticsearch-appender. It's not correlated to our code and easy to add the JAR back on the classpath if needed.

The PR in question: https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/1018

Don't hesitate to answer this thread if you have any concerns.

Cheers,
Rene.
