I have a Cassandra database in which we are storing information from Jenkins from build jobs. One of these fields contains the complete log file. I would like to be able to use Logstash to read these logs and search them using Elasticsearch. Is this possible?

Pulling from Cassandra?

One solution may be to use the [jdbc input plugin](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-jdbc) with a JDBC compatibly CQL driver found [here](https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/cassandra-jdbc/)
