Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on HIVE-13251: ------------------------------------------- I'm no longer involved very actively in the project [~aihuaxu], so whatever the community decides :) > hive can't read the decimal in AVRO file generated from previous version > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-13251 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13251 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Hive > Affects Versions: 2.1.0 > Reporter: Aihua Xu > Assignee: Aihua Xu > Attachments: HIVE-13251.1.patch > > > HIVE-7174 makes the avro schema change to match avro definition, while it > breaks the compatibility if the file is generated from the previous Hive > although the file schema from the file for such decimal is not correct based > on avro definition. We should allow to read old file format "precision" : > "4", "scale": "8", but when we write, we should write in the new format. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
