No setter for Constraints in Field class?

[vincentmarinelli-wk]

Overview

(@iSnow @JohannesJander ) I'm wondering why there is a getter but no setter for Constraints in the Field abstract class:

tableschema-java/src/main/java/io/frictionlessdata/tableschema/field/Field.java

Line 558 in 25f931c

public Map<String, Object> getConstraints(){

Is there another way that we should be setting field-level constraints when creating a schema in Java code?

If this is an oversight, I'd be happy to create a PR to add the setter.

@vincentmarinelli-wk the constraints are parameters in the constructor.

Usually, the idea is that client code wouldn't directly manipulate Fields, but they would be created from the CSV and Schema, and so the constraints would be declared in the Schema.

What specific use-case do you have that needs programmatic setting of constraints on Fields?
