Tom White updated AVRO-1402:
----------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-1402.patch
Thanks for the feedback Doug. I’ve addressed these issues in the latest patch.
Thanks for taking a look Xuefu. I wanted to be explicit about the fact
precision and scale on the schema are maximum values, not the actual (fixed)
values, since there has been some confusion on this (during the discussion
here). I can change it though if there's consensus that the “maximum” qualifier
is redundant.
> Support for DECIMAL primitive type
> ----------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1402
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1402
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.7.5
> Reporter: Mariano Dominguez

> Currently, Avro does not seem to support a DECIMAL type or equivalent.
> http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.5/spec.html#schema_primitive
> Adding DECIMAL support would be particularly interesting when converting
> types from Avro to Hive, since DECIMAL is already a supported data type in
> Hive (0.11.0).
