Description pf yu CLA 2012-01-16 02:24:31 EST 
Build Identifier: 0.7.0 all in one

If a JSON file contains string like this:

{ "people": [
  { "id": 1234567890123, "lastName":"McLaughlin", "email": "aaaa" }
  ]} 
  
When new an EGL record using the json string above, the type of the id will be "int", which is incorrect because the value is overflow:
Record fdsafdsa
	people People[];
end

Record People
	id int;
	lastName string;
	email string;
end


We need a mechanism  to automatically recognize the type of field in the json string.
This problem exists in both RBD and EDT.

Reproducible: Always

The defect is not found by FVT and have little impact on EDT, so delay it for future fix
