Alan Gates commented on PIG-893:
--------------------------------
Semantics of chararray to numeric conversion seem straightforward. Adopting
standards similar to Java's Integer.valueOf() etc. would make sense.
I do not think these should be UDFs, they should be part of the language
definition.
> support cast of chararray to other simple types

> Pig should support casting of chararray to
> integer,long,float,double,bytearray. If the conversion fails for reasons such
> as overflow, cast should return null and log a warning.
