Nong Li commented on AVRO-1402: ------------------------------- Ryan, your example seems like a schema evolution use case. Each file would have a fixed scale and we'd resolve the different schemas. Is that that compelling to have the different receivers write to the same file? > Support for DECIMAL type > ------------------------ > > Key: AVRO-1402 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1402 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 1.7.5 > Reporter: Mariano Dominguez > Assignee: Tom White > Priority: Minor > Labels: Hive > Fix For: 1.7.7 > > Attachments: AVRO-1402.patch, AVRO-1402.patch, AVRO-1402.patch, > AVRO-1402.patch, UnixEpochRecordMapping.patch > > > Currently, Avro does not seem to support a DECIMAL type or equivalent. > http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.5/spec.html#schema_primitive > Adding DECIMAL support would be particularly interesting when converting > types from Avro to Hive, since DECIMAL is already a supported data type in > Hive (0.11.0). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
