Before, the native processors chose to keep both source key and raw_log if parsing fails and keeping unmatched content is desired. Keeping unmatched content in raw_log is to be compatible with older version.
Keeping unmatched content in the source key is convenient if one want data to fall through the next processor when the previous one fails and such behavior is consistent with the behavior of the Go plugin. However, this could result in a doubling of the data volume. As connecting multiple native parsers or connecting native parsers with Go processors is rare now, after this patch only raw_log will be kept. If one want to process the data that previous native processor fails, raw_log must be configured as the source_key in the next processor.
