Log4j directly to elastic search

Perhaps I haven't spotted it, but is there a way to post log messages
directly to elasticsearch from log4j? We have a whole flume setup
working, but that's really annoying to set up for people who are
writing code on their local machines. I figured if I could just have
log4j write directly to elasticsearch, we could make things easier for
our devs.

No, there isn't, but, an elasticsearch log4j appender would be cool. if you write one, I think it can even be in the base jar of "core" elasticsearch (as the code will probably be simple).
