Github user paul-rogers commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1026 Further, is the extra option to `convertFromJSON` really needed? Can't we just accept `NaN` and `Infinity` by default? Consider. If the option is off by default, users without `NaN` or `Infinity` data will see no difference. But, users will this data will get an error and have to hunt down the option to make their data work. If the option is on by default, users without `NaN` or `Infinity` data will see no difference. But, users will this data will also have their queries work by default. So, seems no harm in making the `NaN` and `Infinity` support turned on by default.
