Description
Hi
I have an issue receiving UDP packets. The problem seems to be with codec, either requiring a newline or some other delimiter to actually create a message. I just need a packet boundary (one packet = one message) and 'codec: all-bytes' does not do that either for me. I am not sure how to proceed on this. Any ideas?
If ok I could make a PR and try either rewrite the code and try fix this. I can also look into adding metadata as mentioned in #327 at the same time.
My config. As UDP sender I can use nc -w 0 -u 127.0.0.1 5000 < myfile.
input:
socket_server:
network: udp
address: 0.0.0.0:5000
pipeline:
processors: []
output:
type: stdout```Contributor guide

Research direction
Start with the socket_server input configured for UDP on 0.0.0.0:5000 and reproduce the issue using the provided nc command and sample configuration. Trace how the selected codec handles UDP datagrams; done means each UDP packet is emitted as exactly one message without requiring a newline or other delimiter.
