Description

Currently, we only ingest data in Metron. Often, there is valuable metadata constructed up-stream of Metron that is relevant to enrichment and cross-cuts many data formats. Take, for instance, a multi-tenancy case where multiple sources come in and you'd like to tag the data with the customer ID. In this case you're stuck finding ways to add the metadata to each data source's format. Rather than do that, we should allow metadata to be ingested along with the data associated with it.
