Hi Daniel,

Do be aware that DataHub (and CKAN) has support for storing json data in
the tables via Postgres's support for a json type:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/datastore.html#field-types
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-json.html

Obviously this would be a bit hacky in that you'd basically being storing
blobs of json but you might be able to deserialize a bit and then store
json blobs for the rest.
