------------------------------------

             Summary: ORC specification says scale stream for decimals should 
be unsigned integer. However Hive stores scale as signeg stream.
                 Key: HIVE-13229
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13229
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ORC
            Reporter: Karol Sobczak


According to ORC specification:
https://orc.apache.org/docs/encodings.html
scale stream for decimals should be unsigned int. However in Hive code 
(https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/orc/src/java/org/apache/orc/impl/WriterImpl.java#L1892)
 scale is stored as signed stream.
