Xuefu Zhang created HIVE-7149: --------------------------------- Summary: Parquet not able to handle negative decimal numbers Key: HIVE-7149 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7149 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Serializers/Deserializers Affects Versions: 0.14.0 Reporter: Xuefu Zhang Assignee: Xuefu Zhang
Because of storing decimal numbers as fixed length bytes, Parquet Serde pads leading zeros for decimal numbers that has less bytes representation. This works fine for positive decimals, but messes up with negative ones, for which, leading 1 bits are needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
