Daniel Barclay (Drill) commented on DRILL-2064:
-----------------------------------------------
Even worse, Drill's UINT8/Uint8 is not an 8-bit integer (as uint8 / uint8_t /
UINT8 / etc. are in C, C++, Linux kernel, Swift, MatLab, FreeMat, Octave,
pyMorph, Free Pascal, AVR Libc (and lots of other things from a Google search
:-) ).
So UINT1, UINT2, UINT4, and UINT8 should probably be UINT8, UINT16, UINT32, and
UINT64, respectively.
> Internal "Float4" and "Float8" names are confusing; rename using "Float" and
> "Double"

> [For/from Jacques:]
> The internal names (e.g., enumerations, vector subtypes, function names)
> containing "Float4" and "Float8" are confusing since they don't correspond to
> type names "float" and "double" in Java, etc.
> Things currently named using "Float4" should be renamed to names using
> "Float"; things currently named using "Float8" should be renamed using
> "Double".
