Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-1662:
------------------------------------
Edited the above PR comment to read: "I like the idea of a subset, we can
probably cover 90% of the cases people have for floating-point literals (who
uses Hex literals for floating point?!), but it might warrant a discussion with
the community if it would involve a breaking change later. I think if we went
with a subset of decimal literals for now we'd be in good shape, and could add
others later as the use cases present." The PR has been out there for a while,
available for review.
