Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-5022:
-----------------------------------
Since I have been working on HIVE-3976 and its relatives and since this is
closely related to decimal precision/scale handling, I take this issue going
forward. Hopefully, this will be fixed when HIVE-3976 and the related are
completed.

> When a decimal division is the first operation, the quotient cannot be
> multiplied in a subsequent calculation. Instead, a NULL is returned.
> The following yield NULL results:
> select (cast (4.53 as decimal) / cast(25.86 as decimal)) * cast(0.087 as
> decimal) from <tablename> limit 1;
> select cast (4.53 as decimal) / cast(25.86 as decimal) * cast(0.087 as
> decimal) from <tablename> limit 1;
> If we move the multiplication operation to be first, then it will
> successfully calculate the result.
