Description

I would like to add ability to handle decimal type to ConvertAvroToORC.
It was similar issue for that: #NIFI-5079 and it was eventually closed but IMO this change is worth to reopen.
It is true that Hive 1.2 depends on old version of avro, but thanks to avro's backward compatibility and usage of `props` it is quite easy to achive support for decimals. What do you think about this change?
