   Casts:
   The `Casts` are the possible types the logparser has for returning the found 
elements. So if it says `LONG` as one of the options you can specify a setter 
that receives a `Long`. This is a property that differs per field, yet the old 
implementation in Drill used a single value for all fields. When this value is 
STRING it will all work, but when I sorted the fields this changed and it all 
fell apart.
   
   Remapping: 
   The logparser constructs a tree of dissectors based upon types like 
`STRING`, `TIME.EPOCH`, `IP` and `HTTP.USERAGENT`.
   A specific Dissector is capable of parsing a certain input type into one of 
more pieces which will have different types than the input.
   Now in my example the `request.firstline.uri.query.ua` is a `STRING` for 
which no Dissector exists. 
   In the logparser you can remap this to a different type like 
`HTTP.USERAGENT`. If you specify this the UserAgentDissector will automatically 
be attached and dissect this further into the parts it can produce.
   What I see in the Drill code is that there is an option to add a '#' 
(REMAPPING_FLAG) and then specify a new type and this is then used to call the 
remapping code of the logparser. Yet I have not found any tests or 
documentation that show how this must be used. 
   
   I have an idea on how to make this possible.
   
   Config option:
   Yes, understood. I'll fix it.
