Eric Hanson commented on HIVE-6023:
-----------------------------------

This'd be a nice addition. Also, the code in the Hive trunk now has support for decimal(p, s) which is functionally equivalent to numeric(p, s).

> Many companies are rethinking their strategies to adapt Hive into their ETL just for the reason that it does not support the most basic data types like Numeric(a,b). I believe there should be an improvement with upcoming versions of hive. Can we extend the hive with custom UDF for Numeric(a,b) data type?
