The issue
Hoover processing has a side effect modifying the LogRecord "msg" field.
The existing code handling a Log Record having a dict data as message is as follows:
convert the dict into json,
update the record.msg to reference that json ( modifying the original record)
delegating that record
Some OTHER log handler expecting the message as dict would fail,
It takes the record.msg which should have been a dict and since hoover has changed that, it is now a json.
The fix
Hoover use a modified shallow copy instead of actually modifying the log record.
Using python shallow clone copy.copy which is modified and used by hoover. The original LogRecord does not change.
