Upgrade to 1.5

[sisense-dev]

I tried to change the version to 1.5. It seems that there are some broken things:

• the source_url changed.
• i couldn't run logstash as a service, i guess the problem is related to the changes in the plugins

I managed to get 1.5 working using the following default attributes

default['logstash']['version'] = '1.5.2'
default['logstash']['instance_default']['java_home']  = '/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_75'

default['logstash']['instance_default']['version'] = node['logstash']['version']
default['logstash']['instance_default']['source_url'] = "https://download.elasticsearch.org/logstash/logstash/logstash-#{node['logstash']['version']}.tar.gz"
default['logstash']['instance_default']['checksum'] = '1d1805d388392a69f5049b35c176186389a7f8bf7347c4528c255edc1f9b0d6a'

I also had to change the following in runit run script - https://github.com/Alfresco/chef-logstash/commit/c6d07f44243d9aab5546693920cbd7b59443071e

However I'm currently stuck on plugin installation, as Logstash 1.5 introduces a new mechanism. I'll work on PR.

It looks like --pluginpath is supported again as of 1.5.3 - https://github.com/elastic/logstash/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Thank you @cmjosh, I got logstash 1.5.3 working using master branch of this cookbook (see https://github.com/lusis/chef-logstash/pull/422)

:+1: it would be great to be upgrade to 1.5 version as logstash 1.4 keeps hanging around some JSON messages.
