Deepak Majeti commented on PARQUET-545:
---------------------------------------

As far as I understood, Impala treats `Decimal` and `Timestamp` values similar 
to parquet primitive types and supports them at the encode/decode layer. 
`parquet-mr` on the other hand, leaves it to its clients (say `hive`) to 
interpret them from the parquet primitive types (eg: `FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY`). 
However, `parquet-mr` does some basic checks on `length` `precison` and `scale` 
values specified in the schema. I will update the scope of this JIRA.

> Support Decimal values
