query Bloomberg for 'schema' of BDS request.
In continuing to remove LazyFrame from the codebase, one issue that has come up is whether it is possible to query bloomberg for the fields corresponding to a BDS request vs having to loop over the output to discover the fields / fieldTypes (DVD_HIST for example).
@wmorgan85, it would be great if you could chime in on whether this is possible.
Unfortunately there is no service that allows you to check the schema of BDS fields and there isn't anything in plan in the short/medium term that would resolve this.

We appreciate the follow-up.
We'll figure something else out then -- may just collect data first, hold it and then construct a return object. We'll see.
