--------------------------------
Summary: Expand the range of integer precision when converting
into/out of json.
Key: MESOS-3345
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3345
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Task
Components: stout
Reporter: Joseph Wu
Assignee: Joseph Wu
Priority: Minor
For [MESOS-3299], we added some protobufs to represent time with integer
precision. However, this precision is not maintained through protobuf <-> JSON
conversion, because of how our JSON encoders/decoders convert numbers to
floating point.
To maintain precision, we can:
1) Try using a {{long double}} to represent a number.
2) Add logic to stringify/parse numbers without loss when possible.
In all cases, we'll need to make sure that:
* Integers are properly stringified without loss.
* The JSON decoder parses the integer without loss.
* We have some unit tests for big (close to {{INT32_MAX}}/{{INT64_MAX}}) and
small integers.
