----------------------------------------
[~jarcec] [~abec] do we need to handle scale precision? if yes any suggestions?
should we use MathContext,?
this link suggests

NUMERIC

DECIMAL

> Key: SQOOP-2027
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2027
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Veena Basavaraj
> Assignee: Veena Basavaraj
> Fix For: 1.99.5
>
>
> we need to handle scale and precision and make sure we instantiate the
> bigDecimal correctly
> We also need to make scale and precision mandatory to avoid confusion for
> connectors while they map their types
> {code}
> public class Decimal extends AbstractNumber {
> /**
> * Number of valid numbers.
> */
> private Long precision;
> /**
> * Number of decimal places.
> */
> private Long scale;
> {code}
> IDF java handling today is very lame!
> {code}
> public static Object toDecimal(String csvString, Column column) {
> return new BigDecimal(csvString);
> }
> {code}
> 3. there is no single unit test today with the values for precision and
> scale, so we need to define what those values are for Long
