Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2902:
----------------------------------------
You are probably right, but would changing this break existing scripts /
assumptions?
> Pig defaults numeric types to integer instead of double

> This was observed in PIG-2835, where Pig defaults the type used in SUM() as
> integer while it's actually double, thus parsing each number to integer would
> throw an exception. PIG-2835 replaced the expensive exception handling with a
> light weight sanity check, but do we really want to default the numeric types
> to integer?
