This PR adds proposal for table kind contract with two formats ( table plain and table frame ).
Why this is required
If a data frame doesn't falls under
timeseries
,numeric
or any other known kinds, By specifying this as table kind will let the consumers know how to handle it without any guess work. Say example, when a frame have three fields (date-of-birth (time)
,name(string)
andage(number)
), it can be easily misinterpreted either astimeseries
ornumeric
. So by specifying table kind, consumers can handle this without confusion.Why two different formats
This PR proposes two different format (
table plain
andtable frame
) undertable
kind.By specifying
table plain
it will become clear that the consumer doesn't need to handle any fields. This format can simply act like a sql table/database.By specifying
table frame
it will become clear that the data is not timeseries/numeric or any other known formats. Also it is clear that the data require some post processing due to the presence of labels.Looking for feedback.
