In order to support JSON log format, a custom pattern layout was used and its configuration is enclosed in ESJsonLayout. Users are free to use their own patterns, but if smooth Beats integration is needed, they should use ESJsonLayout. EvilLoggerTests are left intact to make sure user's custom log patterns work fine.
To populate additional fields node.id and cluster.uuid which are not available at start time,
a cluster state update will have to be received and the values passed to log4j pattern converter.
A ClusterStateObserver.Listener is used to receive only one ClusteStateUpdate. Once update is received the nodeId and clusterUUid are set in a static field in a NodeAndClusterIdConverter.
Following fields are expected in JSON log lines: type, tiemstamp, level, component, cluster.name, node.name, node.id, cluster.uuid, message, stacktrace
see ESJsonLayout.java for more details and field descriptions
Docker log4j2 configuration is now almost the same as the one use for ES binary.
The only difference is that docker is using console appenders, whereas ES is using file appenders.

I have long wanted an actual test that dying with dignity works. It is
tricky because if dying with dignity works, it means the test JVM dies
which is usually an abnormal condition. And anyway, how does one force a
fatal error to be thrown. I was motivated to investigate this again by
the fact that I missed a backport to one branch leading to an issue
where Elasticsearch would not successfully die with dignity. And now we
have a solution: we install a plugin that throws an out of memory error
when it receives a request. We hack the standalone test infrastructure
to prevent this from failing the test. To do this, we bypass the
security manager and remove the PID file for the node; this tricks the
test infrastructure into thinking that it does not need to stop the
node. We also bypass seccomp so that we can fork jps to make sure that
Elasticsearch really died. And to be extra paranoid, we parse the logs
of the dead Elasticsearch process to make sure it died with
dignity. Never forget.
