> Assuming support for decimal32/64 is desirable, I think the best course of action is: > > 1. Initially - the SQL interface just won't support creating decimal32/64 columns. Merge this PR as-is (once we have arrow 56.1.0 for casting). > > 2. Open a separate PR to make the breaking change to the SQL interface, but only merge it closer to the next major release (51, should be late November). > > > We can also decide to merge this PR (with the addition of the SQL support and SLT tests) closer to the 51 release, but personally I feel like its better to at least have the basic support merged so its actually used, which will help us find other missing functionality or potential bugs. Steps 1 & 2 sound good, if we can merge the majority of decimal 32/64 work in this PR and isolate that specific SQL parsing change into a separate issue/PR so it would be easier to review & discuss (a presumably smaller PR) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
