CSV double import bug

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug When importing a csv, values of type double are subject to add trailing digits. So value 1.234 in the csv might end up being stored as 1.2340000000004 for example.

Expected behavior Values should be imported normally without trailing digits being added.

Environment (please complete the following information):

AWS linux
Version: 4.2

@Cobalt-27 If you are not afraid of math then this (PDF) paper looks like a decent start. It’s not simple at all, but it could be fun to code it from scratch.

I looked at Apache Harmony and they use a native parser. Kotlin folks borrowed the same code from Harmony.

Thank you for your advice, I would give it a try.
