---------------------------

             Summary: Pig defaults numeric types to integer instead of double
                 Key: PIG-2902
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2902
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jie Li


This was observed in PIG-2835, where Pig defaults the type used in SUM() as integer while it's actually double, thus parsing each number to integer would throw an exception. PIG-2835 replaced the expensive exception handling with a light weight sanity check, but do we really want to default the numeric types to integer?
