"each host can be either IP, HOST," statement not correct for hosts array scenario

[ppf2]

Documentation on hosts setting for the input is not clear:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-inputs-elasticsearch-hosts

It says

List of elasticsearch hosts to use for querying. each host can be either IP, HOST, IP:port or HOST:port port defaults to 9200

But if you have multiple hosts specified as an array, it doesn't know what to default the port to.

So you end up with something like the following for the case of ssl=>true.

[2017-05-01T18:12:36,315][ERROR][logstash.agent           ] Pipeline aborted due to error {:exception=>#<URI::InvalidURIError: the scheme https does not accept registry part: 127.0.0.1:https (or bad hostname?)>,

In others, the statement "each host can be either IP, HOST," is not true if multiple hosts are specified in an array.

Sounds like a bug.

Removing docs tag and marking it as a bug. This is reproducible on 5.3.0 and the latest logstash-input-elasticsearch (4.0.3). Workaround is to explicitly include the :port in the hosts array specification.
