With the advent of es_client==8.12.5, environment variables can now be used to automatically
populate command-line options. The ESCLIENT_ prefix just needs to prepend the capitalized
option name, and any hyphens need to be replaced by underscores. --http-compress True is
automatically settable by having ESCLIENT_HTTP_COMPRESS=1. Boolean values are 1, 0, True,
or False (case-insensitive). Options like hosts which can have multiple values just need to
have whitespace between the values, e.g.
ESCLIENT_HOSTS='http://127.0.0.1:9200 http://localhost:9200'. It splits perfectly. This is
tremendous news for the containerization/k8s community. You won't have to have all of the
options spelled out any more. Just have the environment variables assigned.
Also, log blacklisting has made it to the command-line as well. It similarly can be set via
environment variable, e.g. ESCLIENT_BLACKLIST='elastic_transport urllib3', or by multiple
--blacklist entries at the command line.
es_client has simplified things such that I can clean up arg sprawl in the command line
scripts.
