If you're not familiar with Starcluster, it's a command line tool for  
spinning up clusters of ec2 nodes quickly, great for some analytics / data  
chomping.  
A great introductory screencast is here: [http://youtu.be/vC3lJcPq1FY](http://youtu.be/vC3lJcPq1FY)

This plugin makes firing up elasticsearch clusters of any size dead easy -  
just one command.

First release, all feedback welcome!

thanks,

Barnaby
