I have a pipeline using twitter input:

```
input {
  twitter {
      consumer_key => "key"
      consumer_secret => "key"
      oauth_token => "key"
      oauth_token_secret => "key"
      keywords => ["Microsoft"]
      full_tweet => true
      type => "tweet"
  }
}

```

This pipeline works fine and collect data but an error raise when you add the user mention symbol:

```
input {
  twitter {
      consumer_key => "key"
      consumer_secret => "key"
      oauth_token => "key"
      oauth_token_secret => "key"
      keywords => ["@Microsoft"]
      full_tweet => true
      type => "tweet"
  }
}

```

Which raise the following:

```
{  
:message=>"",
: exception=>"Twitter:: Error::Unauthorized",
:backtrace=> [  
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/twitter-5.15.0/lib/twitter/streaming/response.rb:21:in `on_headers_complete'",
      "org/ruby_http_parser/RubyHttpParser.java:370:in `<<'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/twitter-5.15.0/lib/twitter/streaming/response.rb:16:in `<<'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-twitter-3.0.5/lib/logstash/inputs/twitter/patches.rb:31:in `stream'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-twitter-3.0.5/lib/logstash/inputs/twitter/patches.rb:58:in `request'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/twitter-5.15.0/lib/twitter/streaming/client.rb:37:in `filter'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-twitter-3.0.5/lib/logstash/inputs/twitter.rb:138:in `run'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:456:in `inputworker'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:449:in `start_input'"
   ],
:options=>nil
}

```

Then after "ctrl + c" the pipeline the following error is raised:

`[2017-09-07T15:30:01,250][WARN][logstash.inputs.twitter] Twitter client error`

```
{  
: message=>"undefined method `filter' for nil:NilClass",
:exception=>"NoMethodError",
:backtrace=> [  
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-twitter-3.0.5/lib/logstash/inputs/twitter.rb:138:in `run'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:456:in `inputworker'",
      "/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.5.2/libexec/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:449:in `start_input'"
   ],
:options=>nil
}

```

I used tweepy to collect tweet and it's work fine when using user mention? Does this error come from my configuration, Logstash or Twitter?

I am observing the exact same behavior. It would be nice if someone would provide a solution.
