Phabricator updated HIVE-3820:
------------------------------

    Attachment: HIVE-3820.D8823.1.patch

hagleitn requested code review of "HIVE-3820 [jira] Consider creating a literal 
like "D" or "BD" for representing Decimal type constants".

Reviewers: JIRA

HIVE-3820: Decimal literals

When the HIVE-2693 gets committed, users are going to see this behavior:

hive> select cast(3.14 as decimal) from decimal_3 limit 1;
3.140000000000000124344978758017532527446746826171875

That's intuitively incorrect but is the case because 3.14 (double) is being 
converted to BigDecimal because of which there is a precision mismatch.

We should consider creating a new literal for expressing constants of Decimal 
type as Gunther suggested in HIVE-2693.
