Ok, I thought the general consensus was different. As per my comment:
```
That sounds good. Which one would you guys prefer:
* display names in the mpack of "Elasticsearch" and "HDFS"
* variable prefixes of es and hdfs
I think I'd prefer the first as I really have been trying to set us up to a
world where we can make things pluggable (this is the first baby step).
```
Nobody commented on that, so I went with adjusting the display names rather
than variable prefixes. The reason why I preferred to do that was that when we
do a better job of including Solr or other indices, prefixing the variables
`elasticsearch` will be confusing. The flux files are generic to the writer
type for the random access indices. I can understand the confusion for the
user given we only really support HDFS and elasticsearch right now, which is
why I changed the display names.
Can we recap the reasons against this approach?
