Andries Engelbrecht commented on DRILL-2848:
--------------------------------------------
It is feasible to enable decimal by default in future versions?
A number of BI and Analytical Software tools that work with Drill requested
this.
> Disable decimal data type by default

> Key: DRILL-2848
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2848
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Execution - Data Types
> Reporter: Mehant Baid
> Assignee: Jinfeng Ni
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.0.0

> Due to the difference in the storage format of decimal data type in parquet
> versus the in-memory format within Drill using the decimal data type is not
> performant. Also some of the rules for calculating the scale and precision
> need to be changed. These two concerns will be addressed post 1.0.0 release
> and to prevent users from running into this we are disabling decimal data
> type by default.
