Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2764:
---------------------------------------
I would have no problem tidying this up for inclusion, but all of the comments
are pretty vague. Would love some concrete feedback on whether or not this
deserves to be in Pig, and how it should be or could be different.
I think that more broadly speaking it would be huge to make type support a lot
easier to add, but that's a separate JIRA.

> I think it would be useful for applications where precision is more important
> than speed to have the option of using java's bigdecimal and biginteger types
> natively.
