[jira] [Commented] (DRILL-2064) Internal "Float4" and "Float8"
names are confusing; rename using "Float" and "Double"
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2064?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14362118#comment-14362118 ]
Daniel Barclay (Drill) commented on DRILL-2064:
-----------------------------------------------
We should also rename the types, etc., that represent SQL type BOOLEAN but which are named using the word "bit" (which suggests they represent old SQL type BIT).

> [For/from Jacques:]
> The internal names (e.g., enumerations, vector subtypes, function names) containing "Float4" and "Float8" are confusing since they don't correspond to type names "float" and "double" in Java, etc.
> Things currently named using "Float4" should be renamed to names using "Float"; things currently named using "Float8" should be renamed using "Double".
