Yiping Han commented on PIG-796:
--------------------------------

I have the same idea that Alan proposed. I agree the common case is most values 
are of the same type. Caching the type and change the cached type only when 
catch the ClassCastException would be the most efficient way.

> support  conversion from numeric types to chararray
> ---------------------------------------------------
