> Fix For: 0.9.0.0

>
> Since Copycat has support for versioned schemas and connectors may encounter
> different versions of the same schema, it will be useful for some connectors
> to be able to project between different versions of a schema, or have an
> automatic way to try to project to a target schema (e.g. an existing database
> table the connector is trying to write data to).
> These utilities should be pretty small because the complex types we support
> are fairly limited. The primary code required will be for Structs. However,
> we should take care in designing these utilities since there may be
> performance implications. For example, when projecting between two schemas,
> it would be better to come up with a plan object that can efficiently perform
> the project and be able to reuse that plan many times.
