> The parser interface takes byte[] and returns a list<jsonobject>.  
> It is consistent with the intent of the interface that any parser may return multiple messages from a given byte input.
> For the json map parser, we can make it easier for users (esp. if they do not have NiFi ) is we support more intake options out of the box, for instance more complex json documents containing lists of items.
> The parser should support a configuration option that declares a jsonpath statement, which will be evaluated to yield one or more 'sub' objects to be evaluated.
