Github user nickwallen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/449 @cestella The core of your idea that really solves the problem that I was hung up on was adding two "result" expression; one for each destination. * The HBase destination is just like it is now. I can write any serializable Java Object. * The Kafka destination is more limited. Its expression *must* result in a String. We force the user to serialize the data. And we kind of have to, we have no good way to embed a serialized object in a JSON message.
