Github user merrimanr commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1010 @justinleet I agree with you that it's not a serious problem. I think it can be solved more easily with documentation and some manual steps from the user. There is some logic we need to fix, specifically around substituting the source.type.field value for "source:type" (I added comments for those). Other than that, I'm good with documenting how to switch to Solr in the Solr feature branch. There is also the case of upgrading ES and using "source.type" since that name is allowed in later versions. Is that something we need to think about and document?
