=== Es_bulk codec plugin

include::{include_path}/plugin_header.asciidoc[]

==== Description

This codec will decode the http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html[Elasticsearch bulk format]
into individual events, plus metadata into the `@metadata` field.

Encoding is not supported at this time as the Elasticsearch
output submits Logstash events in bulk format.
