---------------------------------
Summary: Contribute Decimal128 high-performance decimal(p, s)
package from Microsoft to Hive
Key: HIVE-6017
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6017
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Eric Hanson
Assignee: Eric Hanson
Contribute the Decimal128 high-performance decimal package developed by
Microsoft to Hive. This was originally written for Microsoft PolyBase by
Hideaki Kimura.
This code is about 8X more efficient than Java BigDecimal for typical
operations. It uses a finite (128 bit) precision and can handle up to
decimal(38, X). It is also "mutable" so you can change the contents of an
existing object. This helps reduce the cost of new() and garbage collection.
