Skip fields from record while import

[biow0lf]

Is there exists any ability to skip adding field to final hash for ES while import?

I have problem with import:

When location hash is empty, ES raise org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchParseException: field [lat] missing. Simple fix for this is not add location field. But how?

This is a good point. Maybe it make sense to add ignore_nil and ignore_blank field options, but you have to create a patch for it. This is not supported currently.

This is implemented in #778.
