I see that Datahub has a NumberType, but there is no specific FloatType, DoubleType etc. Any plans to add those?

Hey @orange-flag-48535 - we two types,
type
and
nativeDataType
.
type
is intended to be a higher level system agnostic type that datahub will always understand.
nativeDatType
will have specifics around the type of number, string, struct, etc.
nativeDataType
is visible on hover on the schema- that is where the more specific type should be discovered at the moment
does that work for your use case?

Thanks. I'd almost forgotten about nativeDataType and was later wondering whether it will come in handy. Yeah I guess I'll probably push some information into that field for now.
