Description

The ElasticSearchSink would be improved by allowing for header substitution in the indexName property.

A use case is where the sink is an intermediate part of a chain and the index name is required to identify the message origin, at present it can only be a hardcoded value.

The HDFS sink already supports header substitution so a similar format would maintain consistency.
