Version 5.2.2, OS Centos 7, default config file logstash-plugin install is really slow, so I ran `strace -o install-test -ff /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-elasticsearch logstash-filter-translate` to try and find out why, in doing so, I found a thread which produces thousands of `ENOENT (No such file or directory)` errors (8836 to be precise). Most of these are searching `/usr/share/logstash/vendor` for `.jar` and `.class` files. The majority of these are only done once but some are done twice and an even smaller subset are done more than that: output of `sort ENOENT.txt | uniq -cd | awk '$1>2'` ```auto 11 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7df50) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 108 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7e910) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 44 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7f1f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7f510) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 11 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7f850) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 146 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7f8d0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 24 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7f960) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 10 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7fad0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 10 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e7fff0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 20 lstat("/root/file:", 0x7f3807e80300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ``` This isn't the cause of the slowness I was experiencing but is worth reporting anyway ---
