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

>             Project: Sqoop
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Veena Basavaraj

>
> 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
