Currently eck give useful defaults for all the major types of data that can be store in the db as the building blocks of our entity types. But if you want something slightly different, you will have to define a completely new data type. This would not be necessary if we could allow people to configure the data types during creation, and it would make eck a lot more flexible.

3.x does use concepts similar to data api, but full configuration of the basic data types might not be happening in 3.x
