Generic representation for data. 
Represent Schema data with generic python types.
 
Uses the following mapping:
  * Schema records are implemented as dict.
  * Schema arrays are implemented as list.
  * Schema maps are implemented as dict.
  * Schema strings are implemented as unicode.
  * Schema bytes are implemented as str.
  * Schema ints are implemented as int.
  * Schema longs are implemented as long.
  * Schema floats are implemented as float.
  * Schema doubles are implemented as float.
  * Schema booleans are implemented as bool.
