Sergey Shelukhin updated HIVE-13963:
------------------------------------
Description:
See HIVE-13957.
The default precision and scale for the implicit decimal cast are -max,max, ie
38,38- 38,18. -Those don't do what the code may assume they do. All the values
>=1- Some values may become invalid and precision-scale enforcement
automatically converts them to null.
We need to
1) Validate when this happens in/after the conversion code and bail;
2) Or, derive precision and scale from the constants themselves so they all
fit, instead;
3) Or, derive it from the type of whatever caused the conversion in the first
place (e.g. IN column decimal); however, this could be function-specific (e.g.
IN just needs equality, BETWEEN would need at least one extra digit,
arithmetic, if this ever happens, would need everything, etc.);
4) Something else? :)
