Hi Good to hear decimal support is coming. After getting timestamp -type working properly between Kudu and Impala, this is the last really important feature still missing.
We use Kudu as the storage engine of our data lake. A java application streams events from Kafka into Kudu and Impala is used to execute queries coming from various reporting tools. Also Spark is used for data processing and transformation. 2017-12-14 16:52 GMT+01:00 Grant Henke <ghe...@cloudera.com>: > Hi Boris, > > I am actively working on this and expect decimal support to be completed > in the next release.
