Is there a plugin for communicating with clients using msgpack rather than  
JSON already floating around / in the works? A quick web search turned up  
nothing, but I figured I'd ask before implementing one.

Hi,

I don't know of it, although I  
see [https://github.com/elasticsearch/logstash/blob/master/lib/logstash/codecs/msgpack.rb](https://github.com/elasticsearch/logstash/blob/master/lib/logstash/codecs/msgpack.rb)

Did you maybe implement this already?

## Thanks, Otis
