Error description
When the datatype is hardcoded in IsValid function, for example IsValid("integer",one_row.test) and argument does not match with any of the types "date", "decimal", "dfloat", "sfloat", "int8", "uint8", "int16", "uint16", "int32", "uint32", "int64", "uint64", "raw", "string", "time", "timestamp", "ustring" then warning will be shown during compile time, but the compiled job will run. The transform stage with the bad IsValid() argument will output a Fatal error message in the log, but the job will not end with a Fatal status.
Local fix
