[jira] [Created] (PHOENIX-2324) Decimal data sent by Avatica does not adhere to JSON specs

Kevin Liew created PHOENIX-2324:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Decimal data sent by Avatica does not adhere to JSON specs
                 Key: PHOENIX-2324
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2324
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.5.2
            Reporter: Kevin Liew


JSON specifies a 'number' data type which does not differentiate between integer and floating-point values. Libraries such as RapidJSON can treat all non-integer values as 'double' while still being compliant with JSON specifications. As a result, decimal values sent by Phoenix  will lose precision on the client side. 

Decimal data should be sent as a string to adhere with JSON specifications. If it is sent as a number, it cannot be expected that any JSON-spec compliant library will handle it properly.
