> Rounding off was added in {{GenericUDFMonthsBetween}} so that it can be
> compatible with systems like oracle. However, there are places where rounding
> off is not needed.
> E.g "CAST(MONTHS_BETWEEN(l_shipdate, l_commitdate) / 12 AS INT)" may not need
> rounding off via BigDecimal which is compute intensive.
