Logstash version 5.4.0  
Tried to comment out line 65 in solr\_http as suggested in another post - However, that workaround is not helping with logstash v5.4.0. ([Solr6 & Logstash 5: timestamp error](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/solr6-logstash-5-timestamp-error/67223))  
Getting the below error.  
logstash.outputs.solrhttp - An error occurred while indexing: wrong constant name LogStash::TimestampField

The plugin works once the all the timestamp fields are converted into string type.

convert =\> { "datetime" =\> "string" }

It turned out that the Ruby client for Solr -\> rsolr latest version is having an issue..  
Hence we manually installed previous version of rsolr (v1.1.2 is the last/lastest working version) and modified the solt\_http logstash output plugin file to point to the older version.

export PATH=/usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/bin:$PATH  
/usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/bin/gem install rsolr -v 1.1.2

sed -i 's|require "rsolr"|require "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/shared/gems/rsolr-1.1.2/lib/rsolr"|' /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-solr\_http-3.0.1/lib/logstash/outputs/solr\_http.rb
