Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-5823:
--------------------------------------
Documentation for this belongs in the AvroSerDe wiki page:
* [AvroSerDe | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe]
The table in "Avro to Hive type conversion" needs to be updated (with a Hive
0.14.0 release note) and one or more decimal types should be added in the
"Example" section:
* [Avro to Hive type conversion |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe#AvroSerDe-AvrotoHivetypeconversion]
* [Example |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe#AvroSerDe-Example]
Are more examples needed? If so, there could be a new section for decimal.
