I have a kafka -ES pipeline running , i want to add new fields basing on a certain field e.g  
i have the following parameters from kafka:  
{  
"id":1,  
"name":"name1"}  
now depending on the id i want to add department to the same pipeline i have a 100 id's previously I had done manually by If filter where in i check id manually ,  
I want to know a better way to do lookup from a file and enhance data.  
CSV Sample:  
1,"sales"  
2,"reception" e.t.c

The [translate](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-translate.html) filter will do that.

translate will add a field, by default called translation, or whatever you want if you use the destination option.
