Make S3 file name template configurable

[drscre]

We are uploading logs to S3. Another consumer periodically collects those file.
Consumer expects that most recently uploaded files appears last in the file list when sorted by name.
So consumer just remembers which file name he downloaded last and queries S3 only for files with filename > last downloaded file.

Newer plugin version use a random UUID in the file name, so the files are no longer name-sortable.

Also affecting our project. We cannot search files by date. S3 UI only does a "starts with" on the file name when the search criteria is provided. If the timestamp portion of the auto-generated file name is placed AFTER the GUID, then there is no way to search for files written to S3 on a certain date. Older versions of the plugin didn't have this problem.

Additionally, in the S3 UI, when sorting the files by date using the column headers, the sort only affects the data currently displayed on the page. It does NOT requery for all files, apply the sort, and then update the page with new data.

This basically makes the s3 logstash outpush unusable for us -- we need to preserve the filenames we are uploading. Otherwise, very difficult to make sense of output files without a descriptive prefix.

Atleast there should be an option to have ip instead of guid as done in older versions. This is breaking lots of functionality. Current implementations makes it really tough to retrieve/list recently created files.

This issue is opened for about one year and a half, is there any reason it's taking so much to solve it?

If the implementation may take a long time, then at least change the order from ...[UUID].[Time].[Part]... to ...[Time].[Part].[UUID]..., in the meantime.

Would love to at least see this change as well.
