Description

We introduced the authentication feature for Elasticsearch connector in FLINK-18361, i.e. the username and password options. However, it's hard to test the options in integration test, because the embedded Elasticsearch cluster doesn't support authentication. Therefore, we would like to verify this feature in end to end tests.

Before adding the tests, in order to be able to use the new connector options, we should migrate the existing Elasticsearch e2e to Java testing framework FLINK-14620.
