Navis resolved HIVE-6023.
-------------------------
Resolution: Implemented
Fix Version/s: 0.13.0
HIVE-2693 introduced DECIMAL type into hive-0.11.0 and HIVE-3976 extended
specifying scale and precision for it(hive-0.13.0), which can be used for
NUMERIC types.
Feel free open this if someone (thankfully) intended to add native NUMERIC type.

> 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?
