Previously the "mappings" field of the response from the
find_file_structure endpoint was not a drop-in for the
mappings format of the create index endpoint - the
"properties" layer was missing. The reason for omitting
it initially was that the assumption was that the
find_file_structure endpoint would only ever return very
simple mappings without any nested objects. However,
this will not be true in the future, as we will improve
mappings detection for complex JSON objects. As a first
step it makes sense to move the returned mappings closer
to the standard format.
This is a small building block towards fixing #55616
This is a simple naming change PR, to fix the fact that "metadata" is a
single English word, and for too long we have not followed general
naming conventions for it. We are also not consistent about it, for
example, METADATA instead of META_DATA if we were trying to be
consistent with MetaData (although METADATA is correct when considered
in the context of "metadata"). This was a simple find and replace across
the code base, only taking a few minutes to fix this naming issue
forever.
Changes the find_file_structure response to include a CSV
ingest processor in the ingest pipeline it suggests.
Previously the Kibana file upload functionality parsed CSV
in the browser, but by parsing CSV in the ingest pipeline
it makes the Kibana file upload functionality more easily
interchangable with Filebeat such that the configurations
it creates can more easily be used to import data with the
same structure repeatedly in production.
