How to store array in elasticsearch from logstash

I am trying to store data in array field of elasticsearch from logstash
Raw JSON event :

{"user-metadata":{"tags":["BCT-LTP-G109","Elasticsearch","logstash"]},"data":"abc def xyz"}

I want to take "tags" field out as a separate field with name "user_tags" and then store this into elasticsearch.
Current Logstash config: Filter Part

mutate {
add_field => { "user_tags" => "%{user-metadata[tags]}" }
}
mutate {
gsub => [
"user_tags", "," ,'","',
"user_tags", "^" ,'["',
"user_tags", "$" ,'"]'
]
}

Hmm, yes. Logstash's configuration language isn't very good at this. I'd use a ruby filter. This code should work:

event.set('user_tags', event.get('[user-metadata][tags]'))
