Description

The ElasticSearch connector currently transmits a specific null value for security fields that have no data. Instead, I'm told that the proper way to do it is to have people declare a "null_value" property in ElasticSearch configuration, and transmit JSON that specifies the missing fields but includes a value of null, e.g.:

{ "field" : null }
