Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-2624:
------------------------------------
NIFI-2531 is related to this, and includes a partial fix when BigInteger values
fit in a Long. However we should be able to support BigInteger values as
DECIMALs in Avro as part of this case.
> JDBC-to-Avro processors handle BigDecimals as Strings

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
>
> The original SQL processors implemented BigDecimal values as Strings for
> Avro, as the version of Avro it used (1.7.6) did not support DECIMAL type.
> As of Avro 1.7.7 (AVRO-1402), this type is supported and so the SQL/HiveQL
> processors should be updated to handle BigDecimals correctly if possible.
