John Todd commented on SQOOP-2666:
----------------------------------
Yes, SQOOP-1493 looks similar. I hadn't seen that.
This patch doesn't change how imports from NUMERIC or DECIMAL columns are
represented in the Avro schema, it just adds more information to them so the
exact NUMERIC or DECIMAL values could be recreated after the import. Maybe it
could be a stopgap measure until Avro 1.8.0 is released?
