Call for approving Elasticsearch 7.x connector

[vino yang]

Hi guys,

There is an issue about supporting Elasticsearch 7.x.[1]
Based on our validation and discussion. We found that Elasticsearch 7.x
does not guarantee API compatibility. Therefore, it does not have the
ability to provide a universal connector like Kafka. It seems that we have
to provide a new connector to support Elasticsearch 7.x.

Consider that Elasticsearch is a widely used system. There have been
multiple user comments hoping to support Elasticsearch 7.x as soon as
possible. Therefore, I hope this new connector will be approved as soon as
possible, so that this work can be started.

Best,
Vino
