             Summary: Spark SQL JSON schema infernce should allow parsing numbers as BigDecimal
                 Key: SPARK-12749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12749
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Brandon Bradley
            Priority: Minor


Hello,

Spark SQL JSON parsing has no options for producing BigDecimal from floating-point values. I think an option should be added to `org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.json.JSONOptions` to allow for this. I can provide a patch if an option name can be agreed upon.

I'm thinking something like `floatAsBigDecimal`.

Cheers!
Brandon
