Mark Grover created HIVE-3976:
---------------------------------
Summary: Support specifying scale and precision with Hive decimal
type
Key: HIVE-3976
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3976
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Query Processor, Types
Reporter: Mark Grover
HIVE-2693 introduced support for Decimal datatype in Hive. However, the current
implementation has unlimited precision and provides no way to specify precision
and scale when creating the table.
For example, MySQL allows users to specify scale and precision of the decimal
datatype when creating the table:
{code}
CREATE TABLE numbers (a DECIMAL(20,2));
{code}
Hive should support something similar too.
