Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-319:
-----------------------------------------
You should add a static method to TypedValueCombiner to set the lossy parameter
on an IteratorSetting object (e.g., see the setCombineAllColumns method of
Combiner).
> Provide optional stricness for SummingCombiner

> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: John Vines
> Fix For: 1.4.0

>
> Currently the summing combiner will throw an error on a format exception.
> This is great for high precision combining to ensure that all data is
> included. However, there is a potential use case for people who just want
> data combined and do not want a wrench thrown in the system for a bad value.
> Rather then having to write a whole different combiner, we should add a
> configuration option to allow lossy combining which does not take into
> account bad value.
