Please do not post the same question over and over again if nobody responds. It is OK to bump an unanswered question if nobody responds after a day. The problem appears to be at [this](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/blob/ed91408ffd91ce6c517a687bc0658fcdb91bcc44/logstash-core/src/main/java/org/logstash/execution/AbstractPipelineExt.java#L129) line of code. The digest method of a MethodDigest is [documented](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/security/MessageDigest.html#digest(byte%5B%5D)) as returning a byte array, but it has returned a String. That sounds like a broken Java implementation to me. ---
