             Summary: Decimal multiplication with high precision/scale often returns NULL
                 Key: HIVE-15331
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15331
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Types
            Reporter: Jason Dere

{noformat}
create temporary table dec (a decimal(38,18));
insert into dec values(100.0);

hive> select a*a from dec;
OK
NULL
Time taken: 0.165 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)
{noformat}

Looks like the reason is because the result of decimal(38,18) * decimal(38,18) only has 2 digits of precision for integers:

{noformat}
hive> set hive.explain.user=false;
hive> explain select a*a from dec;
OK
