--------------------------------------
[~xuefu.w...@kodak.com] I read your design document "Hive Decimal
Precision/Scale Support", but i did not find the rule of operations that the
doc describes in Hive code :
{noformat}
Operation Result precision Result scale
e1 + e2 max(s1, s2) + max(p1-s1, p2-s2) + 1 max(s1, s2)
e1 - e2 max(s1, s2) + max(p1-s1, p2-s2) + 1 max(s1, s2)
e1 * e2 p1 + p2 + 1 s1 + s2
e1 / e2 p1 - s1 + s2 + max(6, s1 + p2 + 1) max(6, s1 + p2 + 1)
e1 % e2 min(p1-s1, p2 -s2) + max( s1,s2 ) max(s1, s2)
{noformat}
Did it changed?

> 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.
