             Summary: Null values in DECIMAL columns cause serialization issues with HCatalog
                 Key: HIVE-7473
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7473
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Serializers/Deserializers
    Affects Versions: 0.13.1
            Reporter: Craig Condit


WritableHiveDecimalObjectInspector appears to be missing null checks in getPrimitiveWritableObject(Object) and getPrimitiveJavaObject(Object). The same checks do exist in WritableHiveVarcharObjectInspector.

Attempting to read from a table in HCatalog containing null values for decimal columns results in the following exception (Pig used here):
