Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-4844: ----------------------------------- [~jdere] Since this patch is fairly big and progressing over time, I'm wondering if it makes sense to create a few sub tasks and attach smaller patch for each. Especially, you have changes for precision/scale that overlaps with HIVE-3976, and having a stable patch for the common changes makes it easy to create patches on the top of it.
