Mark the system.syslog.message field as text (elastic#6589)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It was marked as a keyword, but that was a bug, because this field is
long and generally textual. I went for a breaking change instead of
making it a multi-field, because I don't see the use case of heaving
it as a keyword.
