             Summary: Update GROK to 0.1.3 to support conversion in grok 
patterns
                 Key: METRON-583
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-583
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Otto Fowler
            Assignee: Otto Fowler


Some users are having problems when passing in strings that are parsable as 
integer types such as "0003222".

In this case they want the string "0003222" not 3222.

The grok pattern language supports type specifications in 0.1.3 which allow you 
to specify in the pattern that you want it as a string explicitly, such as

%{USERNAME:namefield;string}

Metron should update to this version and gain that support.

0.1.3 is _not_ the latest version, however, but should be close enough to 
hopefully not have any regressions
