Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-964:
--------------------------------------

This is a tricky one. I understand the desire, but it would definitely be a lot of work to add this to all the supported Thrift languages.

> We have an application that uses "float", the IEEE single precision numbers. The reasons are the two obvious ones: the lack of need for precision as high as "double" and data size given that we have millions of such numbers.
> I'd like to see support for this data format.
