### <a name="hash"></a>Hash
A 'hash' is currently represented using the same syntax as an array (see above).
A 'hash' is basically the same syntax as Ruby hashes.
The 'key' and 'value' are simply pairs, such as:
match => [ "field1", "pattern1", "field2", "pattern2" ]
The above would internally be represented as this hash: `{ "field1" =>
"pattern1", "field2" => "pattern2" }`
Why this syntax? Well frankly it was easier than adding additional grammar to
the config language. Logstash may support ruby- or json-like hash syntax in the
