Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-5079:
------------------------------------
The version of Hive used in the current Hive bundle is Apache Hive 1.2.1, which
has a dependency on Avro 1.7.7. Unfortunately that version of Avro does not
support logical types, and I don't think it is a good idea to try and evict
1.7.7 for a newer version of Avro, for fear it could break something with the
rest of the Hive components.
I recommend we address this as part of the Hive 3.0 bundle under NIFI-4963.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
> Priority: Major
>
> While other processors have been updated to support Avro logical types (such
> as decimal, timestamp, etc.), ConvertAvroToORC does not currently support
> them. We should update ConvertAvroToORC to handle Avro logical types, not
> just in the conversion to ORC but also in the generated Hive DDL.
