Could you provide a more detailed explanation (with examples) and a describite about your issue? Is it a bug? Is a feature request?

Hi, after loading a csv file, I want to have direct access of different inferred types of columns, it could be I think easily stored in meta field. It is a feature request. As an example, any file can be as input. Many thanks.

Hi. Dynamic typing is applied on a per field basis which looks proper since there is no specification that cvs columns should be of the same type. As a workaround if I you are confident that your file behaves like that, then just parse the first line to figure out the types and then go ahead to parse the whole file. Hope this helps.
