Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-2624:
------------------------------------
Looks like the parsing of logical types (like DECIMAL) was not added until Avro
1.7.8 (and 1.8.0) under AVRO-1497, I believe we will need to upgrade Avro
before being able to handle BigDecimals properly.
> JDBC-to-Avro processors handle BigDecimals as Strings

>
> The original SQL processors implemented BigDecimal values as Strings for
> Avro, as the version of Avro it used (1.7.6) did not support DECIMAL type.
> As of Avro 1.7.7 (AVRO-1402), this type is supported and so the SQL/HiveQL
> processors should be updated to handle BigDecimals correctly if possible.
