Jason Dere commented on HIVE-10270: ----------------------------------- Looks like Hive is relying on the value of BigDecimal.precision() here to get the precision, but this is causing problems. For BigDecimal(0.09765625BD): * precision = 7 * scale = 8 However Hive precision must be >= scale. Looking at how MySQL treats 0.09765625 this should be decimal(9,8) > Cannot use Decimal constant 0.09765625BD > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-10270 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10270 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Types > Reporter: Jason Dere > > {noformat} > hive> select 0.09765625BD; > FAILED: IllegalArgumentException Decimal scale must be less than or equal to > precision > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
