Description

The new version of ElasticSearch (2.0) does not support field names with dot "." in the name. Flume sink by default makes fields named "@message.xxx" or
"@field.yyy". While this was simply annoying before, now it breaks it. Would be great if you could fix it so not everybody has to write it's own sink.
In case there is a way to set fields names it is nowhere documented.
