public final class BigDecimalSerializer
extends java.lang.Object
```
Serialize BigDecimal classes to/from DataInput and DataOutput objects. BigDecimal is comprised of a BigInteger with an integer 'scale' field. The BigDecimal/BigInteger can also return itself as a 'long' value. We serialize in one of two formats: First, check whether the BigInt can fit in a long: boolean b = BigIntegerPart > LONG_MAX || BigIntegerPart < LONG_MIN [int: scale][boolean: b == false][long: BigInt-part] [int: scale][boolean: b == true][string: BigInt-part.toString()] TODO(aaron): Get this to work with Hadoop's Serializations framework.
