Hi guys. I'm trying to create an external table based on an existing avro file. The command used for table creation is: CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE as_avro ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' STORED as INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat' LOCATION '/user/mari_dev/data/mayores-snappy.avro' TBLPROPERTIES ('avro.schema.url'='hdfs:///user/maria_dev/avro/mayor-new.avsc'); The avsc file contains the following schema: {"namespace": "ec.nemesistemas.bigdata.avro", "type": "record", "name": "Mayor", "fields": [ {"name": "fechaRegistroContable", "type": {"type": "int", "logicalType": "date"}}, {"name": "numAsientoDiario", "type": "string"}, {"name": "codigoCtaUltimoNivel", "type": "string"}, {"name": "tipoIdProveedorCliente", "default" :"R", "type": { "type": "enum", "name": "TipoIdProveedorCliente", "symbols" : ["R", "C", "P"]} }, {"name": "idProveedorCliente", "type": "string"}, {"name": "razonSocialProveedorCliente", "type": "string"}, {"name": "codigoCentroCostos", "type": "string"}, {"name": "descripcionCentroCostos", "type": "string"}, {"name": "debito", "type": {"type": "bytes", "logicalType": "decimal", "precision": 4, "scale": 14} }, {"name": "credito", "type": {"type": "bytes", "logicalType": "decimal", "precision": 4, "scale": 14} }, {"name": "detalleRegistro", "type": "string"}, {"name": "tipoAsiento", "default" :"MAN", "type": { "type": "enum", "name": "TipoAsiento", "symbols" : ["AUT", "MAN"]} }, {"name": "asientoCierre", "default" :"SI", "type": { "type": "enum", "name": "AsientoCierre", "symbols" : ["SI", "NO"]} } ] } The error I'm getting is: java.lang.Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. java.lang.RuntimeException: MetaException(message:org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerdeException Invalid precision or scale for
