[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-13380) Decimal should have lower precedence than double in type hierachy

["Sergey Shelukhin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13380?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15321807#comment-15321807 ] 

Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-13380:
-----------------------------------------

This results in unexpected (and arguably wrong) results in some queries (see attached file). 
In the query without decimal casts, 0.07 is not included in the range between 0.06-0.01 and 0.06+0.01 (it is included in the range between 0.05 and 0.07).

I think floating point types are an abomination that should never be used in data systems unless explicitly called for... I wonder if we should revert this before it's released in 2.1. cc [~jcamachorodriguez] just in case
At the very least we need to make sure that decimal is the default if the column is decimal and non-column is double.
Thoughts?

> Currently its other way round. Also, decimal should be lower than float.
