Research direction

Start by locating the KeyValueProcessor implementation and its existing tests, then compare the requested behavior with the linked Logstash exclude_keys documentation. Done means parsed keys listed in the exclusion array are not added to the event, while the default behavior excludes no keys, with tests covering both cases.
