Description

Hi,

I am a committer of MyBatis project (https://github.com/mybatis) and some of our users have difficulty with using MyBatis-Migrations (a db migration tool) with Hive.
https://github.com/mybatis/migrations/issues/25
Basically, Migrations uses BigDecimal as the ID type and the lack of support in Hive's JDBC driver prevents our users from using Migrations with Hive.

So, it would be beneficial to both of Hive and MyBatis users if you could apply the following change to mitigate the situation.
https://github.com/harawata/hive/commit/1910632442ad9b70b41b28e37596843d1b9f7d3f

Please let me know if I should send the modification as a GitHub pull request.

Thanks in advance!
Iwao
