Thanks for the feedback Jon.  I'm am not as familiar with BPF filtering as
you probably are.  Do you have an idea of much effort would be involved in
implementing this?  I suspect this would be another PcapFilter (
https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-platform/metron-pcap/src/main/java/org/apache/metron/pcap/filter/PcapFilter.java)
similar to fixed and query so regardless of when we decide to add it our
endpoint strategy should support 1 to n filters.  Maybe we have an endpoint
for each type of filter:

POST /api/v1/pcap/fixed
POST /api/v1/pcap/query
POST /api/v1/pcap/bpf

This would allow us to accept requests that are structured differently and
specific to the type of filter.
