Thanks for the update and the explanations @twalthr.
I think it would be good to leave comments about the "intentional bugs"
(missing null check and reference equality) ;-) IntelliJ pointed those out to
me and others might wonder as well.
Good to merge after the comments are added.
> Add BigDecimal and BigInteger as Basic types

> Key: FLINK-3786

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature

>
> 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.
