Hey, I have created a cookiecutter template to ease the writing of own processors. Cookiecutter is a templating tool written in python. Using this all you need to do is to run ```auto cookiecutter gh:spinscale/cookiecutter-elasticsearch-ingest-processor ``` and answer four questions, and you get the basic java classes, plus test classes and sample rest tests in your projects. ![Sample output](https://files.slack.com/files-pri/T0CUZ52US-F1HF45SP2/output.gif?pub_secret=2a06b3c0d3) [Here](https://github.com/spinscale/cookiecutter-elasticsearch-ingest-processor) is the github project. Hope it helps a bit. --Alex ---

Is this Python 2 or 3 ? ---
