Prashant Kommireddi commented on PIG-3110:
------------------------------------------
Yes, we do need that in the case input is decimal number (123.45)
In my previous comment I proposed calling Double.valueOf() directly and then
turning that into a Long/Integer in such cases. Also we can avoid these calls
altogether by checking for "numericness". Let's do that in a separate JIRA?
