Research direction

Start by reviewing the referenced RocketMQ.java input plugin and the pipeline configuration that assigns codec => json. Reproduce the configuration error, then trace how the codec setting is passed into the Logstash plugin and identify the expected type. Done means the custom input accepts the JSON codec without the reported IllegalStateException and has regression coverage.
