[GitHub] incubator-metron issue #392: METRON-616: Added support for float and long li...

    So - the case I am thinking of is a stellar transform on an incoming string field that contains a number, but that number will not be marked - so only doubles would work unless I'm mistaken.  I am not sure that requiring the fields to be marked up works so well when you don't have control of the sources.
    
    By specifying TO_XXXX are you explicitly saying you want it treated at a string of number marked as type?   Why impose the restriction of having to have the string marked?
