This plugin is not compatible with other plugins using the latest elasticsearch gems

Problem

This plugin relies on the elasticsearch, elasticsearch-api & elasticsearch-transport gems and only works when these are locked to versions that predate the Elastic licence changes. This makes this plugin incompatible with other plugins that require the latest version of any of these Elasticsearch gems.

I'd like to see these gems forked from the pre Elastic licence change versions, specifically to support the AWS Elasticsearch Service (if not already done), and then referenced from this plugin instead of the current gems. I'd propose aws-elasticsearch, aws-elasticsearch-api & aws-elasticsearch-transport with the caveat that my Ruby knowledge is pretty basic.

Steps to replicate

Install this plugin without constraining the Elasticsearch gem versions.

Expected Behavior or What you need to ask

This plugin should work alongside the fluent-plugin-elasticsearch using the latest Elasticsearch gems.
