Zhijie Shen commented on PIG-1429:
----------------------------------
Hi Daniel, thanks for your review. I'm adding the test cases, which should be
available soon.
For the second comment, I also hesitate to support the conversion between
boolean and number, because the primitive types of Java doesn't support such
kind of conversion. Temporally, I just followed the choice of the reporter of
this issue. I'd like to hear the community's opinions.
For the third comment, would you please explain it again? It seems not very
clear to me. Thanks!
