[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-10270) Cannot use Decimal constant 0.09765625BD

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10270?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14486299#comment-14486299 ] 

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)
