@cjolif I agree, let's do something here.
@tzulitai what do you think about trying to use the switch to REST to make
a clean cut and start a new connector project (without dependency on
`flink-connector-elasticsearch-base`). As an experiment, we could try how much
code we would actually need to copy into the new project.
@aljoscha and @patricklucas I remember you also had some thoughts on the
elasticsearch connectors.
I am +1 for seeing if we can drop ElasticSearch 1.x and 2.x support, but
that should be a separate thread.
