Gray updated AVRO-2401:
-----------------------
Description:
I'm having a hard time figuring out if this a a bug or expected behavior. If
we initialize a decimal field with a fixed logical type that has fewer bytes
then the fixed size has, then the bytes get padded on the right with 0s. This
changes their resulting decimal value. I think they should be padded from the
left. The spec is vague here so I'm not sure if this is a bug or just
unexpected outcome.
I've attached my junit test. The result of the test is: AssertionError:
expected:<660.51> but was:<169090.56>
