Wes McKinney commented on KUDU-721:
-----------------------------------
We have been recently working on this in Apache Arrow (ARROW-1588) -- it seems
likely that our runtime representation for analytics will be 16-bytes but we
can encode/decode to the smaller representations (e.g. Parquet, Kudu) on the
wire. I asked [~cpcloud] to weigh in on the design doc since he's been looking
at this, and we want to make sure that we are able to be a good partner to Kudu
in the future

> Key: KUDU-721
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-721
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client, tablet
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Grant Henke
> 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.
