Andries Engelbrecht commented on DRILL-2848: -------------------------------------------- It is feasible to enable decimal by default in future versions? A number of BI and Analytical Software tools that work with Drill requested this. > Disable decimal data type by default > ------------------------------------ > > Key: DRILL-2848 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2848 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Execution - Data Types > Reporter: Mehant Baid > Assignee: Jinfeng Ni > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > Attachments: DRILL-2848-part1.patch, DRILL-2848-part2.patch > > > Due to the difference in the storage format of decimal data type in parquet > versus the in-memory format within Drill using the decimal data type is not > performant. Also some of the rules for calculating the scale and precision > need to be changed. These two concerns will be addressed post 1.0.0 release > and to prevent users from running into this we are disabling decimal data > type by default. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
