Has anyone looked into ZeroMQ? It is basically a library that provides an  
API which looks/works like a standard AMQP broker. I think this would be  
something interesting to use to interface with ES as it would allow one to  
transport messages over to ES without having to have a full fledged broker  
system set up.

Just wondering if anyone here has thought about this already.

I had some of the same thoughts, but have not had the time to investigate  
the integration. If you start prototyping it, please put a link here to the  
code, and hopefully we can get some community help!

Best,

I agree, it can be very interesting. Thinking on it more along the lines of a REST transport implementation (like the memcached and thrift options).
