This is what i would suggest (btw there's a chatbot at the top of https://docs.convex.dev which can help with questions): In Convex, you can write a schema with a discriminated union type for documents usingv.union at the top level. You can separate different types of documents by assigning them distinct kind values. Here is an example:

import { defineSchema, defineTable } from "convex/server";
import { v } from "convex/values";

export default defineSchema({
  documents: defineTable(
    v.union(
      v.object({
        kind: v.literal("StringDocument"),
        value: v.string(),
      }),
      v.object({
        kind: v.literal("NumberDocument"),
        value: v.number(),
      })
    )
  ),
});

import { defineSchema, defineTable } from "convex/server";
import { v } from "convex/values";

export default defineSchema({
  documents: defineTable(
    v.union(
      v.object({
        kind: v.literal("StringDocument"),
        value: v.string(),
      }),
      v.object({
        kind: v.literal("NumberDocument"),
        value: v.number(),
      })
    )
  ),
});

In this schema, documents either have a kind of "StringDocument" and a string for their value or they have a kind of "NumberDocument" and a number for their value.
