Doug Cutting updated AVRO-1402:
-------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-1402.patch
Forrest failed with the spec change because it didn't like a 'sup' tag nested
wtihin a 'code' tag. I changed the outer tag to 'em' in this case and now it
compiles.
Here's the modified 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).
