Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-4523:
-----------------------------------
I didn't find any spec on round() either. It's hard to image a use case that
has variable rounding. Nevertheless, we can fix it if there is a complaint. For
any exact type (int, long, decimal, etc) + variable rounding, we can return
double as the type (or follow what mysql does).
> round() function with specified decimal places not consistent with mysql
