Alan Gates commented on PIG-3121:
---------------------------------
Do you need to patch JsonStorage? Can't you change your script to cast these
values to chararray before storing?
> 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?
