this PR increases major version as convertToColumnTypes step was removed.
in previous versions convertToColumnTypes is used to check and convert all cells data to correct dataType of the column. As a result this affected performance of the whole table.
in version 9.0.0 user should check that correct dataType is set in column, for example:
'1' & 1 have different dataTypes starting for version 9.0.0. Column with value '1' - should has String dataType, 1 - should has Number dataType.
if data has a column with value '1' - and user need it to behave it as a number, then this value should be converted to Number before passing to data, and column dataType should set as Number.
Pros:
Performance of the table is increased as no additional checks and conversions.
Cons:
Users should care about dataTypes - but in most cases it is better to have more obvious behavior instead of having hidden conversion under the hood in the table
