Logstash should complain or fail gracefully when pointed at an incompatible version of elasticsearch

Fixed

Description

If you point logstash at an incompatible version of elasticsearch, the only hint you currently get are screeds of errors in the elasticsearch logs.

It would be better if logstash gave an error to help humans quickly diagnose the problem and point them towards a elasticsearch_http, or a different version of elasticsearch.

This is largely mitigated by the 1.0 release of Elasticsearch. All 1.x releases of Elasticsearch are working with the current release of Logstash.

The elasticsearch output plugin also gracefully fails and informs the user if there is a problem.
