I am new to elastic and looking for connector to ingest office/pdf documents from file system.  
With old versions there used to be river connector which is no longer supported (i assume)  
I tried using logstash for the purpose but somehow its not working  
Any suggestions?  
following is logstash configuration

input {  
file {  
path =\> "D:/elastic/data/resumes/_._"  
codec =\> plain { charset =\> "ISO-8859-1" }  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}  
filter  
{  
ruby {  
init =\> "require 'base64'"  
code =\> "event.set('data', Base64.encode64(event.get('message')))"  
}  
mutate {  
remove\_field =\> ["message"]  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
action =\> "index"  
hosts =\> ["192.168.1.2:9200"]  
index =\> "resumedata"  
document\_type =\> "resumes"  
pipeline =\> "attachment"  
}  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}
