Document plugin not being supported anymore #43

Closed ppf2 closed 8 years ago

ppf2 commented 8 years ago

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch_java.html

Starting in 5.0, the only ES output we recommend is the default elasticsearch output (http protocol). We do not intend to support or continue development on this plugin anymore. Let's update the documentation accordingly? @acchen97

The statement indicates that it's easy for users to install even though it's discouraged for us. We may want to add a stronger statement here? For example, there's no indication on this page itself that the plugin is deprecated/unsupported.

This plugin does not ship with Logstash by default, but it is easy to install by running bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-elasticsearch_java. Also note that node protocol usage is discouraged. Please use http or transport protocol.

@ppf2 good catch! I agree we can draw a hard line here now. @dedemorton can you please help update this?

"This plugin is no longer supported. Please use the recommended Elasticsearch output plugin."

We should remove the documentation for this plugin altogether. there is no need to add a banner to this.

Removed the elasticsearch_java output plugin docs in https://github.com/elastic/logstash-docs/pull/339, so I'm closing this issue.
