Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have log files which contain JSON arrays, when I try using json_array_parser, OTEL says that the operator is disabled, and refuses to start. I am using version OTEL collector contrib 0.104.0.

How can I apply operations or access slice elements (e.g. attributes.my_array[0])?

Describe the solution you'd like

To be able to process elements inside slices, or a certain operator to copy a slice element (Or extract them) to a field.

If you are using a recent version of the collector, you can enable the logs.jsonParserArray feature gate to enable this operator. I've opened #33948 to upgrade this gate to beta, which will enable it by default going forward.
