Hi, i'm currently running into the following issue with the http input plugin for logstash:

Whenever a request is sent to the pipeline while the pipeline is busy, this request is dropped.  
I have read about the blocking behavior of the plugin, but the request always returns "200 OK" and not the 429 "busy" message.

So my question is, is this a bug i am experiencing here or is there anything i can do to fix that with my logstash configuration?

I'm using logstash 7.9.2
