Good day to everyone. I'm working on our own variation of the Geographic Login 
Outliers use case 
(https://metron.apache.org/current-book/use-cases/geographic_login_outliers/index.html).
 I noticed that our fields names arrive with a period in the name, for example 
"client.ip" and "user.id". 

 

Our internal naming convention is intended to align the data ingestion solution 
with the Elasticsearch Common Schema. From experience, working with those dots 
in Elasticsearch is a challenge and it raises the question if we need to handle 
field names with a dot in a different matter in Metron.

 

In the case of Metron, should we be modifying the field names to replace dots? 
Can the Metron STELLAR language handle a field name with a dot in it, or are 
there any special steps required such as surrounding event fields with single 
or double-quotes in order to properly handle those field names?

 

Thank you,

 

Tom.
