Description
I noticed when I was working with the ECS Java loggers that MDC and/or Metadata fields weren't name spaced.
I can see one of three scenario's:
1. Make the default namespace be `labels` per [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/ecs-base.html](Base Fields)
2. Make the default namespace be `tags` per [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/ecs-base.html](Base Fields)
3. Allow for a customized namespace via a configuration parameter.
Here's an example configuration:
```xml
my-application
my-application-cluster-node
environment
dev
```
and a resulting output:
```json
{
"@timestamp": "2021-08-31T15:57:11.355Z",
"log.level": "DEBUG",
"message": "Example with the default Meta Data fields.",
"ecs.version": "1.2.0",
"service.name": "my-application",
"service.node.name": "my-application-cluster-node",
"event.dataset": "my-application.log",
"process.thread.name": "main",
"log.logger": "co.elastic.DemoApplication",
"environment": "dev"
}
```
