> As of recent work we can now read and write columns that are not in the schema, AKA dynamic columns. the Select and Upsert allow dynamic columns to be specified. 
> I think two additions are still needed.
> - Alter dynamicly: In the Upsert and/or Select statement  the ability to add on the specified dynamic column to schema. Say Upsert into Table (key, cf.dynColumn varchar SCHEMAADD) values (..)
> and for select: 
>      - select key, cf.dynColumn varchar from T would only read
>      - select key from T(cf.dynColumn varchar ) would only read and wrtie to schema
> - Select a complete column Family: More complex, accessing a whole Column Family with all rows known in schema or not.
>  select cf.* from T
> today this works for know columns it could be nice to have this for all columns of a family in the schema or not. I'm trying right now to extend this to schema for unknown columns. However every new row can a lot of very different unknowcolumns. The defined ones will be first but the unknown one will be appended at the end.
> This means the metadata might need to be updated at every row to account for all new columns discovered.
