Github user simonellistonball commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/914 @ottobackwards Really want that myth to be a reality... as soon as we can get the config overwrite problem solved... but this really isn't the ticket to discuss that on :) I'm kinda keen on this parser looking at things like CloudTrail logs and such like which appear with merged JSON right now. The other thing that I think this would link up to is the idea that's been floating around about chaining parsers. This parser could well be a split parser, which then routes to other parsers with different transformations for example depending on the message, but again, that's deep future and should probably be on a discuss thread about parser chaining.
