Improve logstash and elasticsearch performance
The logstash and elasticsearch performance can be improved by using
async index options, pulling back the refresh interval, and by not
fingerprinting every document.

* Async translog allows elasticsearch to using run fsync in the
  background instead of blocking
* the refresh interval will now be 5x the number of replicas with a cap
  of 30. This integer is representitive of the seconds between index
  refresh calls which greatly lowers the load generated across the
  cluster.
* All documents were fingerprinted before writting to the cluster. This
  was a costly operation as elasticsearch will do a forward lookup on all
  documents with a preset ID resulting in 100's, if not 1000's, of extra
  reads. The purpose of the fingerprint function is to limit repeading
  writes so to keep some of this functionality the fingerprint function is
  now only added to documents with messages.
* G1 garbage collection is now enabled by default when the heap size is
  > 6GiB. Early versions of elasticsearch did not recommend this setting
  however its since stabalized in recent releases.
* JVM options have been moved into the elasticsearch and logstash roles
  allowing these tasks to trigger service restarts when changes are made.
