   Both inbound and outbound data type mappings can live in user-space. They 
should never be conflated and be source specific, not even databsae specific.  
For example, Iceberge v1/2 doesn't provide lengths and precisions for data 
types. This means that it's something that users would want to supply 
themselves before the data ends up in an EDW. 
   
   All that I see as being separate to what you seem to be doing here, 
providing better support for, allowing rules to be defined for data typing by 
database plugins. I think it's a nice improvement.  Don't worry about the 
hop-data-vault code, it's handling a separate challenge:  `source --> data 
catalog --> target`
