I am very new to Elastic and thinking about using it in a project.  
Think about text files that contain millions of JSON lines each have different structure, nearly one thousand:  
Sample Text file:  
Line1 JSON\_structure1  
Lİne2 JSON\_structure2  
Line3 JSON\_structure3  
..  
Line99999..9 JSON\_structure999

I am thinking about pushing all of these lines to Kafka from source system and then use Logstash-Elastic Hadoop and store parsed data in HDFS. What is the best way of doing this ? Does logstash support these kind of parsing operation ?
