Eric Hanson commented on HIVE-6023:
-----------------------------------
Not that I know of. You could implement UDFs to do operations on some other
type like a string to get the semantics you want but that sounds like too much
work for this situation.

> Many companies are rethinking their strategies to adapt Hive into their ETL
> just for the reason that it does not support the most basic data types like
> Numeric(a,b). I believe there should be an improvement with upcoming versions
> of hive. Can we extend the hive with custom UDF for Numeric(a,b) data type?
