> We already had the discussion on the mailing list some months ago about adding BigDecimal and BigInteger as basic types.
> Especially for business or scientific applications it 
> makes sense to support the BigInteger and BigDecimal types natively. In 
> my opinion they are as important as Date or Void and should be added as 
> BasicTypes. The Table API would also benefit from it.
