As a schema admin I want to be able to configure a metadata field that can store decimal numbers precisely.
For the existing float field values above 2^53 (9,007,199,254,740,992) get rounded when stored, and precision is lost.

Practical use of functionality?
Capture very large decimal numbers with accuracy. |

|
What is the impact of not doing this?
Data precision is lost for very large decimal numbers when using the existing float datatype. |
