Subin, Only the envelope is structured. What's inside the individual fields of the structure may be single values (possibly considered structured meta-data) or unstructured (like free text or other fields with informal semantics).
Even if you pass a 5-hour video as a major case of unstructured data to Solr or Elasticsearch, you will need to agree on how meta-data and individual aspects of that data object will be passed.
