*schema evolution on logical types* : Sounds like a good idea for a future new feature.
*stringable representation of BigDecimal* : That's indeed not the case even with current decimal type. This could be added with fromCharSequence/toCharSequence with current and new decimal type to get exponential representation as "1.23E-8" for example.
