For Logstash 5.X, the module has been heavily rewritten. As a result, all outstanding pull requests (some of which are very old) are unfortunately suffering from severe merge conflicts, and many of them are probably no longer needed.

With the release of the new version, the time has come to close out all the pull requests that have, in all honesty, been neglected. Starting with a clean slate will help us focus on new pull requests that come in against the new code base and the much-improved acceptance test suite.

I apologise for the lost work that is represented in this pull request and will strive, as the current maintainer, to not let pull requests get into a state like this in future.
