Hi,

As far as a "stringable representation of BigDecimal" is concerned, I
always thought it would then be modelled as a string instead of a logical
type.

The difficult part here is how to handle an unknown scale, but with the
requirement to have exact data. But honestly, I think we don't want that.

I would however, like to see a way to do schema evolution on logical types.
That would allow (for example) widening conversions on decimals, same as
for int/float now.


Kind regards,
Oscar
