Hello,  
I have ndjson which is scraped by filebeat, transferred via redis and logstash (which has no filter rule, except date) into elasticsearch.

The ndjson structure is smth like:

```auto
{
"array_of_objects": [
        { "attr1": true, "attr2": 42 },
        { "attr1": false, "attr2": 43 },
        { "attr1": true, "attr2": 44 }
    ]
...
}

```

The object is transformed into:

```auto
{
"array_of_objects.attr1": [true, false, true],
"array_of_objects.attr2": [42, 43, 44]
...
}

```

Is there a possibility to disable this transformation?
