    METRON-1347: Indexing Topology should fail tuples without a source.type

    ## Contributor Comments
    If you are sending data into metron indexing without a source.type, which would only happen if you're bypassing our previous topologies, we cannot configure how we write to the indices, so the message should be explicitly failed and reported.
    
    To test this, you can send a message into the indexing topic via kafka console producer that looks like:
    ```
    {
      "value" : "foo"
    }
    ```
    Ensure that the tuple is failed and an error message indicating that a `source.type` is required is written to the storm UI.

    Actually, I don't think `original_string` is required past the parser topology.  For instance, profiler messages into enrichment do not have `original_string`.

    Strictly speaking that's true, but by convention original_string should be required. There is a broader topic about what should be required, but that certainly doesn't belong in a comment on a PR.

    The parser topology PRODUCES the original_string.  By that very action, and it's requirement, it can only be used and required by downstream usages either from rest ( post indexing ) or during enrichment.  It seems inconsistent to validate without including that, if what you want to do is validate the entire set of required fields.  If you only want to handle what is required at a given step, but not what is required 'overall' then this is OK, but something doesn't seem right here conceptually.

    It seems this PR is meant to address the global case, since the writer is general purpose. Per @cestella's comments, I don't know that we can include original_string. I do think there's value in minimally ensuring the timestamp and source.type fields are validated in the near term. It seems that addressing a broader validation strategy might be in order, but maybe we could handle that separately as a compromise? Thoughts @ottobackwards?

    Do we care, here in particular, that we have different required fields listed?  Should this not be cumulative and include the required fields coming out of the parsers?

    Sure thing.  Really the only two required are `timestamp` and `source.type`.  Did I miss any?

    The minimum required fields, as far as I can see right now are source.type, original_string and timestamp.  Given the use case for this is something that has skipped the parser topology, we should validate those.
    
    If we think the same can be done for indexing, then we should use the same classes/technique there.
    
    Again, this is based on the presented use case

    So, strictly speaking messages really only require `source.type` (which I typo'd) and `timestamp` (which I should add).  I'll fix that, but did I miss anything?
