[jira] [Commented] (SQOOP-1493) Add ability to import/export true decimal in Avro instead of serializing it to String

["Jarek Jarcec Cecho (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-1493:
-------------------------------------------

We've discussed including this patch even with the avro 1.8.0 snapshot dependency on [dev list|http://markmail.org/message/akqnll4zjpm3aqt4] and decided to do so. I've tried to commit the patch, but it no longer applies. Wondering if you're open to rebase it [~abec] or whether I should do that?

> Currently, we're serializing decimal to string when importing to Avro and Parquet.  As both data formats have native Decimal support, we should use that instead.
