I am not absolutely sure that it always return `BigDecimal`. Found this at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String,java.text.ParsePosition) : ``` If isParseBigDecimal() is true, values are returned as BigDecimal objects. The values are the ones constructed by BigDecimal.BigDecimal(String) for corresponding strings in locale-independent format. The special cases negative and positive infinity and NaN are returned as Double instances holding the values of the corresponding Double constants. ``` So, `isParseBigDecimal()` returns `true` when `setParseBigDecimal` was called with `true` as in the PR. > Looks there are some possibilities that it can return other types. In that case we just fail with a cast exception and the record will be handled as a bad record. or you want to see more clear message in the exception?
