We pass `null` for the class name here:

https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/f086dd18ddc705bf84a1ff99d35196ec2498fd52/server/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/plugins/PluginDescriptor.java#L261

However the class name is mandatory for the transport protocol today:

https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/f086dd18ddc705bf84a1ff99d35196ec2498fd52/server/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/plugins/PluginDescriptor.java#L156

This prevents various APIs from working in a cluster with stable plugins installed.
