Just realized I forgot to reply-all, response copied verbatim: Jeremy,
An extrator is meant to take some data and extract it's constituent field-value pairs. If a field cannot be determined for a given value then the default field should be used. For example, when indexing `text/plain` there is no explicit field, it's just a bunch of text, so the `default_field` specified in the schema is used. By default the `default_field` is `value`. It's also worth noting that if a field is not specified in a query the default field is assumed. Does this answer your question?
