Shuo Cheng updated FLINK-22586:
-------------------------------
Description:
Currently the precision and scale derivation is not properly for decimal data
arithmetics, e.g,
considering the following example:
{code:java}
select cast('10.1' as decimal(38, 19)) * cast('10.2' as decimal(38, 19)) from
T{code}
the result is `null`, which may confuses use a lot, because the result is far
from overflow actually.
The root cause is the precision derivation for the above multiplication is:
(38, 19) * (38, 19) -> (38, 38)
So there is no space for integral digits, which leads to null results.
