Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-5823:
-----------------------------------
While it would be nice to have native support for decimal in Avro, In the
meantime it's possible to get around that shortage by serializing decimal into
other supported types such as binary. I'd like to move this idea forward, and
please let me know soon if anyone, especially [~mdoming...@cloudera.com], is
interested in working on it.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Serializers/Deserializers
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: Mariano Dominguez
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: avro, serde

> This new feature request would be tied to AVRO-1402.
> Adding DECIMAL support would be particularly interesting when converting
> types from Avro to Hive, since DECIMAL is already a supported data type in
