A couple of outstanding questions around format that I think we need to
cover before 1.0
- We have outstanding questions around union type. I think the main one
is the javascript type. Given the inability to support the desired behavior
for decimal type, I suggest we remove this capability before 1.0.
- For interval, I'd like to propose moving to a single value
representation instead of a composite. I think that it is unlikely that
anyone needs a composite representation. If they do, they can compose their
own with the other primitives available. I believe this would look like:
- Interval Day to Seconds: 8 bytes representing number of
milliseconds.
- Interval Year to Months: 4 bytes representing number of months.
Thoughts?
