Duplicate of #6642 except targeting release/4.0.x
Problem:
json-logging outputs JSON objects with undefined field order, but some log processing services (ex. Splunk) require the timestamp field to be within the first N characters of an object.
Solution:
The MapBuilder class now maintains insertion order (via LinkedHashMap) except that the "timestamp" field is always written first.
Result:
The output JSON from json-logging always has the timestamp field appear first within the object
