If we are going to create our own function that builds rows instead of
using named tuples (which is increasingly growing on me...) Perhaps we could
use `**kwargs`?
I'm thinking something like `inferSchema(rdd.map(lambda x: row(name = x[1],
age = x[2]))`
Just a thought... that seems lightweight but doesn't suffer the semantic
ambiguities inherit with dictionaries.
