Alan Gates commented on PIG-2764:
---------------------------------

I don't know of any good libraries.  And everything Google turned up looked old 
and unsupported.  I took a quick crack at it (just the fixed point part, not 
integrating with Pig's data type system).  I'll attach it as a separate patch.
