Summary: Add BigDecimal and BigInteger as Basic types
Key: FLINK-3786
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3786
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Reporter: Timo Walther
Assignee: Timo Walther
We already had the discussion on the mailing list some months ago about adding
BigDecimal and BigInteger as basic types.
Especially for business or scientific applications it
makes sense to support the BigInteger and BigDecimal types natively. In
my opinion they are as important as Date or Void and should be added as
BasicTypes. The Table API would also benefit from it.
