There is a new ES datatype in development that will allow to store json objects with any field name, what will allow to have fields inside these objects with dots. This helps to avoid mapping conflicts as the ones we have seen with docker and kubernetes labels in beats.

I propose that ECS recommends the use of this type for this sort of values.

Not to be merged before the type is available in ES.

The challenge here is that aggregations on it will not be possible, at lease in the short term. I wonder if we should still recommend it?

Yeah, if it lacks terms aggregation then we shouldn't recommend it, I wonder if any other aggregation could be needed for these fields.
I am closing this by now.
