Hello World!

I'm using Logstash 7.17 and experiencing an issue with Logstash and S3 output plugin:

```auto
$ logstash --version
Using bundled JDK: /usr/share/logstash/jdk
logstash 7.17.13
$ ./bin/logstash-plugin list logstash-output-s3
Using bundled JDK: /usr/share/logstash/jdk
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
logstash-output-s3
$ 

```

A dedicated volume for Logstash to keep temporary files (exports) is mounted in the container, however, after Logstash pushed files to s3 and deletes files from the filesystem, the inodes remains to be in use for a _very_ long time..

I wonder what's the reason behind as it makes monitoring kinda impossible or perhaps there is some settings that can be tweaked?)

Please advise)  
Thanks in advance!
