Rohini Palaniswamy commented on PIG-2764:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Actually I am going to backport this feature to pig-0.11.
I am assuming you are doing this for a internal version of 0.11 that you
maintain in git. Since this is a feature, it cannot be ported to apache pig
0.11 branch. Only critical and major bugs can go into the branch.
> Add a biginteger and bigdecimal type to pig
