Thoughts: 1) I think like Kenn mentioned below, omitting the `long` from these params seems reasonable. If we need to support more non-default types later, we could do so with postfixes, but it seems like making long the default is fine. 2) An alternative option for supporting this in x-lang is to make these a row/schema'd object which takes different types as fields (e.g. `lowerBound=Row('longLowerBound': 123, 'dateLowerBound': null)`). This might be easier/cleaner to evolve, though it is harder to map to yaml. I don't love this option. 3) Another alternative would be something like: `lowerBound='123', 'upperBound'='456', 'boundType'='long')` where we take the boundaries as strings and convert them to the right type. Since we only accept `long` as a bound type for now, we could omit this param. I kinda like this as a way to evolve this over time since it is pretty x-lang/yaml friendly and lets us evolve it over time. Plus we can still provide good typing in the python wrapper. `boundType` might not even be necessary in the long term if we can auto-infer the type (we could at least do this if we only evolve to long/date) Overall, I think we should have a plan on how we plan to evolve this if we need to support date columns or abitrary other column types, I don't think it is safe to assume we will never need this. (3) is an option, but I'm open to other paths here if folks have ideas. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
