Rivers were deprecated and removed from 2.0. The syncing story isn't terrible but it's not as simple as it used to be.

Looks like the new syncing story involves logstash as an ETL platform

Eh, that's more for logs specifically. The "syncing story" is something that depends on your technology platform and specific situation. I adopted ES when it had rivers, but never even considered using them for syncing.

For what it's worth Logstash is cited as a replacement for rivers in the deprecation announcement.

that's disappointing :-(
