[jira] [Created] (AVRO-2206) Support for 80 or 128 bit IEEE 754 floating point values

Armel Asselin created AVRO-2206:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Support for 80 or 128 bit IEEE 754 floating point values
                 Key: AVRO-2206
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2206
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Armel Asselin


We'd like to store floating point numbers with a 64 bit mantissa, in order to avoid 64 bits integer + precision aside pattern.

The idea would be to add support for 128 bit IEEE 754 or 80 bit IEEE 754.

Regards
Armel
