> FLUME-1371 added an ElasticSearch module but the dependency added in it for org.elasticsearch classes is marked {{<optional>true</optional>}}.
> This means it doesn't get generated into the builds Flume would ship and the user guide will not work unless a user manually places their version of ElasticSearch jars on the classpath. They will get the error:

> Two ways to address this; either we:
> # Mark dependency as non-optional, supply a bundled elasticsearch jar (version decision could be a problem I imagine, if their releases break compatibility often)
> # Update the user guide to instruct the user to place the jar onto flume's classpath in proper manner, before following the remaining of the guide.
> Problem of the ClassNotFound originally reported by user j0sh_X over FreeNode IRC.
