--------------------------------
Attachment: SQOOP-2976.patch
> Flag to expand decimal values to fit AVRO schema
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SQOOP-2976
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2976
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4.6
> Reporter: Thomas Scott
> Assignee: Ferenc Szabo
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: SQOOP-2976.patch
>
>
> As per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1864 when importing from
> Oracle (or any other database that truncates decimals) Sqoop jobs can fail
> because the scale of the decimal produced by the database does not match the
> scale in the AVRO file.
> For instance if the value 3.15 is produced by Oracle and the AVRO decimal
> scale is 3 (this can happen even if the Oracle column is defined with scale
> of 3) then the job will fail.
> Can we have a flag (--pad-decimals) that pads incoming values with zeros to
> fit the AVRO schema (e.g. 3.15 becomes 3.150).
