Liya Fan created ARROW-6245: ------------------------------- Summary: [DISCUSS][Java] Provide an interface for numeric vectors Key: ARROW-6245 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6245 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: Java Reporter: Liya Fan Assignee: Liya Fan
We want to provide an interface for all vectors with numeric types (small int, float4, float8, etc). This interface will make it convenient for many operations on a vector, like average, sum, variance, etc. With this interface, the client code will be greatly simplified, with many branches/switch removed. The design is similar to BaseIntVector (the interface for all integer vectors). We provide 3 methods for setting & getting numeric values: setWithPossibleRounding setSafeWithPossibleRounding getValueAsDouble -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
