Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-13251:
----------------------------------
It makes sense to me to support for those users for the previous version at
little cost, +1
> hive can't read the decimal in AVRO file generated from previous version

>
> HIVE-7174 makes the avro schema change to match avro definition, while it
> breaks the compatibility if the file is generated from the previous Hive
> although the file schema from the file for such decimal is not correct based
> on avro definition. We should allow to read old file format "precision" :
> "4", "scale": "8", but when we write, we should write in the new format.
