---------------------------------
Summary: Parquet not able to handle negative decimal numbers
Key: HIVE-7149
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7149
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Serializers/Deserializers
Affects Versions: 0.14.0
Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
Assignee: Xuefu Zhang
Because of storing decimal numbers as fixed length bytes, Parquet Serde pads
leading zeros for decimal numbers that has less bytes representation. This
works fine for positive decimals, but messes up with negative ones, for which,
leading 1 bits are needed.
