Re: Schema versioning and schema evolution

If you change the "source" version to include a new field, the
"destination" code will still work, putting the extra field into a
generic type (collection).

Once the "destination" updates to the new schema def it will understand
the new field. Or if you are using a generic mechanism to read out of
the collection, it will understand it immediately.

Cheers,
Brett
