Hi dev, I am working on supporting Float and Byte datatypes. *Background* Currently float is supported by internally storing the data as double and changing the data type to Double. This poses some problems while using SparkCarbonFileFormat for reading the float type data. Internally as the data type is changed from Float to Double therefore the data is retrieved as a Double page instead of float. If the user tried to create a table using file format by specifying the datatype as float for any column then the query will fail. User is *restricted to use double to retrieve the data.*
*Proposed Solution* Add support for float data type and store the date as a FloatPage. Most of the methods that are used for double can be reused for float. *Similar approach can be used for Byte*. Any suggestion from community is most welcomed. -Regards Kunal Kapoor
