According to the documentation, the [lumberjack output plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-lumberjack.html) should be available with Logstash 5.1, however I'm seeing the following error when trying to use it:

> [2017-01-20T14:47:27,608][ERROR][logstash.plugins.registry] Problems loading a plugin with {:type=\>"output", :name=\>"lumberjack", :path=\>"logstash/outputs/lumberjack", :error\_message=\>"NameError", :error\_class=\>NameError, :error\_backtrace=\>["/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:221:in `namespace_lookup'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:157:in `legacy\_lookup'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:133:in `lookup'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:175:in `lookup\_pipeline\_plugin'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugin.rb:127:in `lookup'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:447:in `plugin'", "(eval):164:in `initialize'", "org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1079:in `eval'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:93:in `initialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:237:in `create\_pipeline'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:94:in `register_pipeline'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:259:in `execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:67:in `run'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:178:in `run'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:132:in `run'", "/usr/share/logstash/lib/bootstrap/environment.rb:71:in `(root)'"]}:

I can see `logstash-input-lumberjack` is still there:

> [logstash]$ bin/logstash-plugin list logstash-input-lumberjack  
> logstash-input-lumberjack

Is there a reason why the `logstash-output-lumberjack` isn't?

> [logstash]$ bin/logstash-plugin list logstash-output-lumberjack  
> ERROR: No plugins found
