Dear Community, Please, I would have a question about Math.max(). As for pipeline in screenshot, I have Mapper22 in which I use Math.max() function. If I inspect type before this function, type is "BigInteger". Inspection after Mapper22 gives "BigDecimal". Maybe Math.max() changes datatype ? Thank you.

Math.max() allows for both Integer and Decimal inputs. While not documented, it routinely returns BigDecimal for all inputs.
