SCHEMATIC-308
Problem:
When creating a JSON Schema, the type is inferred from existing validation rules if they exist. It would be better if the type were set explicitly in the data model.
Solution:
The JSON Schema creation function will look for the columnType attribute in the data model graph and use it to set the JSON Schema type if it exists. Otherwise, it will continue to infer the type from the validation rules. Infering from validaiton rules has been deprecated and will be sunsetted in the future.
Testing:
Unit tests for both when the node has the columType attribute and when it doesn't.
