[jira] [Created] (AVRO-1402) Support for DECIMAL primitive type
Mariano Dominguez created AVRO-1402:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Support for DECIMAL primitive type
Key: AVRO-1402
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1402
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.7.5
Reporter: Mariano Dominguez
Priority: Minor
Currently, Avro does not seem to support a DECIMAL type or equivalent.
http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.5/spec.html#schema_primitive
Adding DECIMAL support would be particularly interesting when converting types from Avro to Hive, since DECIMAL is already a supported data type in Hive (0.11.0).

Hive can presently choose to implement it that way, and a lack of top level
integration of the BigDecimal data type in Avro specs should not be
blocking them I think.
