Adding @ToivoAdams comment here as his last comment on JIRA did use
github's @ mentions instead of JIRAs [~ ] mentions:

> Sorry I didn't have time to look your code.
> Your approach looks much better.
> My only concern is – do we generate record which conforms to Avro
standard?
> Can any other consumer (outside NiFi) read our Avro record and get back
same BigDecimal?
>
> @joewitt
> Right, let’s try to finish this.
> Thanks

> 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.
