Alan Gates commented on AVRO-17:
--------------------------------
>From the pig viewpoint, I vote for not removing float. We asked for feedback
>from our users and found that some are using float (as opposed to double).
>Pig would very much like to use Avro for internal serialization, but if it
>does not support types our users are using this will become move difficult.
> remove single float type

> Python and Thrift do not support a 32-bit single float type, nor do many
> applications use this type, so, for better compatibility, we can remove it
> from Avro.
