Matt McCline commented on HIVE-15335:
-------------------------------------
I am very clear I do not want to support 3rd parties writing vectorized UDFs on
our current data structures and without any design thought whatsoever being
given to it. I've always considered the vector classes to be internal
non-shared data structures. Certainly not public APIs.
And, clearly an alternative to examine is to say early versions of ORC using
old HIveDecimal are compatible with an early range of Hive; and newer ORC
versions are only compatible with newer Hive versions.

>
> Replace HiveDecimal implementation that currently represents the decimal
> internally as a BigDecimal with a faster version that does not allocate extra
> objects
> Replace HiveDecimalWritable implementation with a faster version that has new
> mutable* calls (e.g. mutableAdd, mutableEnforcePrecisionScale, etc) and
> stores the result as a fast decimal instead of a slow byte array containing a
> serialized BigInteger.
> Provide faster ways to serialize/deserialize decimals.
