Github user nickwallen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/517 Really great contribution. This is going to be so useful. I agree that it might be better to mimic the syntax from an existing language. Personally, I think any of the 3 options defined would work well, but based on our roots in Java and the ubiquity of Java, I'd stick with Java's approach.
