ok let me clear few things in here

1. I have installed the logstash from repo.
2. There is no mention about path.settings in official doc.
3. A new user will not see breaking changes for sure.
4. Even this is not working sudo bin/logstash --path.settings=/etc/logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }'. It just sits there without showing me any msg like " Pipeline main started". If i type something like Hello, it just give me nothing and sit there
