##! Log writer for sending logs to an ElasticSearch server.
##!
##! Note: This module is in testing and is not yet considered stable!
##!
##! There is one known memory issue. If your elasticsearch server is
##! running slowly and taking too long to return from bulk insert
##! requests, the message queue to the writer thread will continue
##! growing larger and larger giving the appearance of a memory leak.
