Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2764: --------------------------------------- I would happy to make a cut against trunk, since this patch is probably out of date. Would love to have people weigh in on criteria for inclusion. IMHO (re: Alan's previous comments) I would rather go with the well known (even if a little slower) BigNumber types...rolling our own will mean we'll continue adding features until we converge on a crappier version of them, imho. > Add a biginteger and bigdecimal type to pig > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2764 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2764 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jonathan Coveney > Assignee: Jonathan Coveney > Attachments: fixedpoint.patch, PIG-2764-0.patch, PIG-2764-1.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
