[jira] [Commented] (PIG-2764) Add a biginteger and bigdecimal type to pig

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2764?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13398937#comment-13398937 ] 

Alan Gates commented on PIG-2764:
---------------------------------

Do you really need biginteger and bigdecimal, or are you trying to get fixed point processing cheaply?  Pig definitely needs a fixed point type.

> I think it would be useful for applications where precision is more important than speed to have the option of using java's bigdecimal and biginteger types natively.
