Aihua Xu updated HIVE-13423:
----------------------------
    Description: 
When a column col1 defined as decimal and if the sum of the column overflows, 
we will try to increase the decimal precision by 10. But if it's reaching 38 
(the max precision), the overflow still could happen. Right now, if such case 
happens, the following exception will throw since hive is writing incorrect 
data.

  was:
When we handle sum over decimal datatype in a groupby statement, it will 
possibly yield overflow if we use original data type. 

We need to change precision/scale for sum() result or give an error/warning if 
such change is not possible.


> Handle the overflow case for decimal datatype for sum()
