Benjamin Mahler commented on MESOS-3345: ---------------------------------------- [~kaysoky] Ah, let's just always use JSON strings for int64, per the proto3 mapping: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3?hl=en#json Can we do this in a non-breaking way given what we have today? > Expand the range of integer precision when converting into/out of json. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-3345 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3345 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Task > Components: stout > Reporter: Joseph Wu > Assignee: Joseph Wu > Priority: Minor > Labels: json, mesosphere, protobuf > > For [MESOS-3299], we added some protobufs to represent time with integer > precision. However, this precision is not maintained through protobuf <-> > JSON conversion, because of how our JSON encoders/decoders convert numbers to > floating point. > To maintain precision, we can: > 1) Try using a {{long double}} to represent a number. > 2) Add logic to stringify/parse numbers without loss when possible. > In all cases, we'll need to make sure that: > * Integers are properly stringified without loss. > * The JSON decoder parses the integer without loss. > * We have some unit tests for big (close to {{INT32_MAX}}/{{INT64_MAX}}) and > small integers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
