Tim Armstrong updated IMPALA-7087:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
This is similar to IMPALA-2515, except relates to a different precision/scale 
in the file metadata rather than just a mismatch in the bytes used to store the 
data. In a lot of cases we should be able to convert the decimal type on the 
fly to the higher-precision type.

{noformat}
ERROR: File '/hdfs/path/000000_0_x_2' column 'alterd_decimal' has an invalid 
type length. Expecting: 11 len in file: 8
{noformat}

It would be convenient to allow reading parquet files where the precision/scale 
in the file can be converted to the precision/scale in the table metadata 
without loss of precision.
