Does Spark support BigInteger type?

I know that old versions of Spark support only BigDecimal type from java.math. But I found this pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/10125. I tried to use it and I had no problems using BigInteger type. But in the spark documentation there is still no mention BigInteger.
So, can I safely use this type?

    @BalajiReddy - No. It is an arbitrary precision integer type; see javadoc.

    It doesn't. In doubt you call always check type reference (nothing changed in 2.4, but its SQL docs are broken for now). There is bigint identifier in use, but it simply maps to long.
