@mattyb149, I agree with adding it to the lexer as a subset. I thought
through it a bit more and is someone passes "toLiteral('1.1')" they should
expect they would get a string with the value "1.1".
I'll do some research on the best way to parse double/floating points via
Antlr and post a new commit.
Thanks!

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Joseph Percivall

> Currently the math operations in Expression Language use Longs to evaluate
> numbers. This leads to any decimal places getting truncated when performing
> operations like divide.
> NiFi should support working with decimals
