Imho, we should at the very minimum have a way to let users choose which engine they want to use to process their formulas, either POI or the fast engine. There currently are a couple of supported functions, let's say that grows to ~20, how would users currently know which engine processes their formula? We should also make sure that we have integration tests that prove that the POI and "fast" formula engines provide the same results, or have the differences in formula behavior documented. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the initiative and the effort, but as you say, this will be a huge change if done well, so we need to be cautious. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
