Why unstructured events' fields prefixed as unstruct_event_*?

For data modelers & consumers Iglu

For example,

And how I can get rid of this and get fields like com_erodionov_client_lead__created.state or even state?

Hi @evgenyrodionov - the prefix is to:

  1. Make clear the origin of the field (it came from a user-created self-describing event), and more importantly:
  2. Prevent naming clashes. For example if we didn’t prefix the field and you created a self-describing event called useragent, it would clash with the existing useragent field in the event

At the moment it’s not possible to change this.
