Daniel Russel commented on AVRO-1290:
-------------------------------------
While either of the above options (throw an exception or using the Jackson/Ruby
convention) is an improvement for me, I do find that being able to work with
infinity/nan as values is often useful and allows me to avoid various special
casing and checks in my code. So I would prefer 2. As a particular example
here, I need a sentinel value (as well as being able to support normal double
values). Being able to use NaN or infinity works quite naturally and avoids
fussing with edge cases caused by conversion precision or such.
> AvroCpp json text backend produces "inf" for double values of infinity but
> won't consume them

> If you use the json encoder and pass it a double with value e.g.
> std::numeric_limits<double>::infinity() it happily writes the literal "inf".
> However, the decoder chokes on that literal.
