Hyunsik Choi commented on TAJO-391:
-----------------------------------
This proposal is reasonable for me. I have also experienced the problem caused
by downcast. The function type system works well when column references are
passed to functions. However, it is likely to lose precision when constant
values are used as function parameters. This is because real values are parsed
via FLOAT4. This change only affects function call with constant parameters, so
it does not cause performance degrade.
> Change setting default type in query from FLOAT4 to FLOAT8

> FLOAT4 is default parsed float type in tajo.
> but it can cause some trobles when we use it as FLOAT8.
> for examples.
> 0.4(f) will changed to 0.40000000000005(d)
> so it cause different result from java.Math functions.
