Hello!
The old field data I read from Kafka is object，It seems that there is no way to identify the setting record
This is my first configuration
```auto
csv_schema => "old:STRING,...."
```
And first error
```auto
[2022-12-12T19:06:04,154][WARN][logstash.outputs.googlebigquery][main] Error while inserting {:key=>0, :location=>"old", :message=>"This field: old is not a record.", :reason=>"invalid"}
[2022-12-12T19:06:04,166][INFO][logstash.outputs.googlebigquery][main] Problem data is being stored in: /opt/module/bqerror/logstash_test_2022_12-1670843164.log
```
And I changed it to record
```auto
csv_schema => "old:RECORD,...."
```
It returned me this error again
[image]
```auto
[ERROR][logstash.javapipeline][main] Pipeline error {:pipeline_id=>"main", :exception=>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The RECORD field must have at least one sub-field, :backtrace=>["com.google.cloud.bigquery.Field$Builder.setType(com/google/cloud/bigquery/Field.java:132)"
```
The value in old may be one or more, which is uncertain。
what should i do？
