Hi, thank you for further assistance
you can reproduce this by simply running
5 match { case java.math.BigDecimal => 2 }
In my personal case, I am applying a map acton to a Seq[Any], so the elements
inside are of type any, to which I need to apply a proper
.asInstanceOf[WhoYouShouldBe].

Could you share your pattern matching expression that is failing?

Hi all,
I am trying to run a spark job, in which I receive java.math.BigDecimal
objects, instead of the scala equivalents, and I am trying to convert them into
Doubles.
If I try to match-case this object class, I get: “error: object
java.math.BigDecimal is not a value”
How could I get around matching java objects? I would like to avoid a multiple
try-catch on ClassCastExceptions for all my checks.
Thank you,
Saif
