Error while installing for Elasticsearch 2.3.3

• ElasticHQ Version: Latest
• Elasticsearch Version: 2.3.3

Issue Description

I'm trying to install Elasticsearch-HQ in my custom docker image based on elasticsearch:2.3.3. Other plugins I'm installing work, but HQ's install fails with the log below. This matches the error in #205, but nothing recent.

I've tested a couple of tagged versions, but they all end up downloading master.zip which seems to be the cause of the problem.

Could you please help point me in the right direction?

Thank you very much for your help!

In the meantime, I've used this workaround in my Dockerfile:

RUN wget -O /tmp/hq_v2.0.3.zip https://github.com/ElasticHQ/elasticsearch-HQ/archive/v2.0.3.zip
RUN bin/plugin install file:///tmp/hq_v2.0.3.zip

I hope this helps someone.

I have exactly the same issue with elasticsearch 2.3.5.

@gueorgui thank you very much for this workaround.
