Research direction
Start by tracing Qlib's existing data storage and type-handling entry points to determine where numeric and categorical values are currently supported. Clarify the expected representation, supported operations, compatibility requirements, and tests for storing names, industries, and stock blocks before implementation; done means string data can be stored and retrieved reliably without breaking existing data types.
