I have bunch of custom filter(parsers and enrichment) plugins in logstash. Now my requirement is to provide similar functionality at service layer which is implemented in java.

I want to avoid re implementing(and maintaining multiple copies) those parsers and enrichment modules in java. Is there way by which I can just call logstash's filter plugin part from java and it will return result back to java.
