Hi all, I saw in these weeks that there are a lot of problems related to decimal values (SPARK-22036, SPARK-22755, for instance). Some are related to historical choices, which I don't know, thus please excuse me if I am saying dumb things:
- why are we interpreting literal constants in queries as Decimal and not as Double? I think it is very unlikely that a user can enter a number which is beyond Double precision. - why are we returning null in case of precision loss? Is this approach better than just giving a result which might loose some accuracy? Thanks, Marco
