Hello !
I know that it is possible to remove fields from one event thanks to "event.remove('field')".
I want to know if there is a way to remove the complete event and not one or two fields.
My probleme is that I have two events type and I use the aggregate plugin to get some fields from one event and some from the other. I want to push the map as event on timeout and delete the two event that serves me to build the finale event.

See the example in the ruby filter docs:
```plaintext
filter {
ruby {
# Cancel 90% of events
code => "event.cancel if rand <= 0.90"
}
}
```
