Liudmila Kornilova commented on CASSANDRA-15232: ------------------------------------------------ :) > Arithmetic operators over decimal truncate results > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-15232 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15232 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CQL/Semantics > Reporter: Benedict > Assignee: Liudmila Kornilova > Priority: Normal > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 4.0 > > Time Spent: 1.5h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > The decimal operators hard-code a 128 bit precision for their computations. > Probably a precision needs to be configured or decided somehow, but it’s not > clear why 128bit was chosen. Particularly for multiplication and addition, > it’s very unclear why we truncate, which is different to our behaviour for > e.g. sum() aggregates. Probably for division we should also ensure that we > do not reduce the precision of the two operands. A minimum of decimal128 > seems reasonable, but a maximum does not. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.2#803003) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
