When I execute the following search
index="does not matter"
| stats count AS value
| eval value=123456.0
| eval x=value/(1024*1024*1024)
| eval y=(value*1.0)/(1024*1024*1024)
I get results which do not quite meet my expectations:
value: 123456.0
x: 0.0001149774
y: 0.00011
Seems like splunk truncates the value. But why? Multiplying by 1.0 should (could, might, ...) transform the value into a floating point number but strangely this results in a less precise result. Is there any documentation on which precision splunk uses for arithmetic operations?
