Documentation about adding plugins

Hello!

I can't find any resources to add new plugins, does the plugins list can be overrided in the initcontainers script?

cloud-on-k8s/operators/pkg/controller/elasticsearch/initcontainer/prepare_fs_script.go

Line 21 in 90663df

Plugins []string

I wanted to add the prom exporter https://github.com/vvanholl/elasticsearch-prometheus-exporter/releases/download/7.1.1.0/prometheus-exporter-7.1.1.0.zip

Hey Max,

Sorry that's not supported yet in release 0.8. We do have in mind to support and document it for the next release (0.9).

You can follow #35 that will track this feature.

PR #1022 (comment) that has been merged into master recently adds support for user-provided init containers, in which you could download and install any custom plugin you want before ES nodes get started. That's probably the way it will work in 0.9 :)

I'm closing this for now, let's keep #35 open.

Thanks for the answer.
