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I would happy to make a cut against trunk, since this patch is probably out of
date.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

> 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.
