Data maps over to ES as string

[quocble]

logstash wasn't easy to install.... I spent quite some time with it and played with the logging format. All of them converts into string type on elastic search. This just doesn't work well for in practice for searching.

I ended up using lambda functions. Worked in 15 minutes.

@quocble have you checked this plugin that we made?. https://github.com/mantika/logstash-filter-dynamodb it indexes all youre dynamodb into the correct ES type.

I believe it's unnecessary to make a Lambda to process this.
