Josh Levy created PIG-3121:
------------------------------
Summary: Optionally convert long to chararray in JsonStorage
Key: PIG-3121
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3121
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Reporter: Josh Levy
I work with a data set that uses random longs (64 bit integers) as identifiers.
Recently I've been accessing the data from Pig and using JsonStorage to save
records, that I then run through another script to get JSON that I can feed
into other tools. One of the tools I use is broken in the sense that it treats
all numbers as 64 bit floating point, and it can't faithfully reproduce most of
the identifiers I pass it. My work around is to convert the identifiers to
strings before they get to that tool.
If I provide a patch, is there interest in adding an option to JsonStorage that
tells it to serialize all longs as if they are strings?
