             Summary: Update the way that JsonLoader/JsonStorage deal with BigDecimal
                 Key: PIG-3615
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3615
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: Erik Selin
            Priority: Minor


It's a common (and good) convention to quote fixed point numbers when storing them as json. The reason being that majority of json libraries will implicitly load any number value as a floating point number and if you care about data integrity this will make you very sad.

This update makes JsonLoader able to load BigDecimal values from quoted values (the old jackson library that we're using doesn't support this through the current approach) as well as making JsonStorage store BigDecimal values as quoted strings.
