The helper/schema framework for building providers previously validated
in all cases that each field being set in state was in the schema.
However, in order to support remote state in a usable fashion, the need
has arisen for the top level attributes of the resource to be created
dynamically. In order to still be able to use helper/schema, this commit
adds the capability to assign additional fields.
Though I do not forsee this being used by providers other than remote
state (and that eventually may move into Terraform Core rather than
being a provider), the usage and semantics are:
To opt into dynamic attributes, add a schema attribute named
"__has_dynamic_attributes", and make it an optional string with no
default value, in order that it does not appear in diffs:
"__has_dynamic_attributes": {
Type: schema.TypeString
Optional: true
}
In the read callback, use the d.UnsafeSetFieldRaw(key, value) function
to set the dynamic attributes.
Note that other fields in the schema _are_ copied into state, and that
the names of the schema fields cannot currently be used as dynamic
attribute names, as we check to ensure a value is not already set for a
given key.

Terraform Helper Lib: schema
The schema package provides a high-level interface for writing resource
providers for Terraform.
If you're writing a resource provider, we recommend you use this package.
The interface exposed by this package is much friendlier than trying to write to the Terraform API directly. The core Terraform API is low-level and built for maximum flexibility and control, whereas this library is built as a framework around that to more easily write common providers.
