rawField in XContentBuilder

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a string which is data in JSON format, but not in fixed structure. I
want to index it as a part of my document.
So, I'd have such structure:
{
"data":{ HERE is the CONTENT from the STRING with DYNAMIC STRUCTURE},
"mySecondProp":"Some Value, etc.."
}
I'm building XContentBuilder for indexing such document. I suspect that I
could use:

rawField<http://www.thelastcitadel.com/lab/elasticsearch/javadoc/org/elasticsearch/common/xcontent/builder/XContentBuilder.html#rawField(java.lang.String,
byte[])>(java.lang.String fieldName, byte[] content)

First of all, I need a confirmation that I'm in the right direction, since
I couldn't find description of that method.
And another question, should this work Ok?

rawField<http://www.thelastcitadel.com/lab/elasticsearch/javadoc/org/elasticsearch/common/xcontent/builder/XContentBuilder.html#rawField(java.lang.String,
byte[])>("data", myJsonString.getBytes());

Thank you,
Eugene

I think you are on the right track. As long as your XContentBuilder is
building JSON and your string is has correct JSON format it should work.
