Todd, since you bring it up in this thread... what CDH version do you expect DECIMAL support to make it into? I recently asked Icaro Vazquez about it but still no news. We're hoping it makes it into 5.14 otherwise according to the roadmap there might not be another minor release and we'd be waiting till Summer for CDH 6.
And just in case we're forced to make do without DECIMAL initially, is the recommendation really to store as string and convert? I was thinking of storing as int/long and dividing by 10 or 1000 as needed in an impala view over the kudu table. Wouldn't a division be way more performant than a conversion from string, especially when aggregating over thousands of records in a report query? thanks, -Mauricio On Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 11:13 AM, Todd Lipcon <t...@cloudera.com> wrote: > Oh, one other piece of feedback: maybe worth editing the title to say "vs > Apache Parquet" instead of "vs Apache Impala" since in all cases you are > using Impala as the query engine? > > -Todd > > On Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 11:06 AM, Todd Lipcon <t...@cloudera.com> wrote: > >> Hey Boris, >> >> Thanks for publishing this.
