  The requested list of classifier objects.
  - (dict) --
    
    Classifiers are written in Python and triggered during a crawl task. You can write your own classifiers to best categorize your data sources and specify the appropriate schemas to use for them. A classifier checks whether a given file is in a format it can handle, and if it is, the classifier creates a schema in the form of a StructType object that matches that data format.
    
    A classifier can be either a grok classifier or an XML classifier, specified in one or the other field of the Classifier object.

        The time this classifier was registered.
      - LastUpdated (datetime) --

      - Version (integer) --
        
        The version of this classifier.
      - GrokPattern (string) --
        
        The grok pattern applied to a data store by this classifier. For more information, see built-in patterns in Writing Custom Classifers.
      - CustomPatterns (string) --
        
        Optional custom grok patterns defined by this classifier. For more information, see custom patterns in Writing Custom Classifers.
