Boris Tyukin commented on KUDU-721: ----------------------------------- any workarounds currently to store precise numbers? not sure strings will work as Impala does not take strings for aggregation functions > Support for DECIMAL type > ------------------------ > > Key: KUDU-721 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-721 > Project: Kudu > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: client, tablet > Affects Versions: Private Beta > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Will Berkeley > Priority: Critical > Labels: kudu-roadmap > > [~mgrund] identified that without DECIMAL type, we're going to have issues > with a lot of the tests tables that Impala uses. Also, since we're targeting > some financial applications, it seems pretty crucial. This JIRA is to track > the work necessary to support it. I'll write up some short design doc and > post here. > *Design doc*: > https://docs.google.com/a/cloudera.com/document/d/1wIebU0HxviRLHFF1fSS-E30KPWOrTI0xVYAMPE6kliU/edit?usp=sharing -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
