I have not got some plugins for oAuth support for ES. Do we really have
some or some guides to integrate OAuth to ES?

Authentication is outside the scope of Elasticsearch. It can be added
through servlet add-ons, see for
example [GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-transport-wares: Servlet transport for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-transport-wares)
or [GitHub - sonian/elasticsearch-jetty](https://github.com/sonian/elasticsearch-jetty)

Authentication is one thing, but oAuth? Not sure why I would want to
use it in a client/server environment.
