Hi,  
I would like to index pdf documents. I installed ealsticsearch 5.0.1 and ingest attachment plug-in. I dont want to do base64 encode while indexing. So found that there is a CBOR format, in which base64 encode is not required. Could you please share example / code snippet for indexing pdf documents in CBOR format and to search its contents please ?

It's not supported by ingest plugin.

I'm sorry but my answer was wrong.  
CBOR is supported in core and ingest plugin will deal with that OOTB.  
No other plugin required.
