Documentation Gap for new 9.4 setting Number Type

There seems to be a lack of documentation on the new settings Number Type and Storage Type inside of Cube → Cube Properties. I could not find anything on what this setting does and what the dropdown options entail.

    They are related to the new efficiency gains in Cube engines.

    The Number Type will allow us to control the precision of stored data, so that you can have cubes optimized for values that are not necessarily representing currency values, or that can benefit from losing precision as a trade-off with storage space or calculation speed.

    Storage Type will allow us to use “flexible datarecords”, which again provide big storage and performance gains, and is something you’ll probably hear a lot about in the near future.

    This said, you should not play with these settings right now unless instructed by Support. In fact, they should not appear as dropdowns at all, right now! You might have some “naughty” options enabled, for whatever reason. Just leave them with default settings.
