   I've started to work on this issue. I have 3 possible solutions on undefined 
schema fields:
   
   1) If value can be convertible to `Float` than convert to `Float`, otherwise 
try with `Long`, otherwise go with `String`.
   
   2) If field name ends with `_l,` and is not defined at scheme, and a config 
value of `schemeless mode` is enabled then convert to `Long`, so on so forth.
   
   3) Create a regex defined field. Accept a regex value and make 
transformation on it which is a generic solution of 2. i.e.:
   
   ```
   { "pattern": "*_l", "type": "long" },
   { "pattern": "*_f", "type": "float" }
   ```
   
   @gianm what do you think?
