-------------------------------
Summary: Update the way that JsonLoader/JsonStorage deal with
BigDecimal
Key: PIG-3615
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3615
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.12.0
Reporter: Erik Selin
Priority: Minor
It's a common (and good) convention to quote fixed point numbers when storing
them as json. The reason being that majority of json libraries will implicitly
load any number value as a floating point number and if you care about data
integrity this will make you very sad.
This update makes JsonLoader able to load BigDecimal values from quoted values
(the old jackson library that we're using doesn't support this through the
current approach) as well as making JsonStorage store BigDecimal values as
quoted strings.
