             Summary: Test scale validation when encoding decimal logical schema
                 Key: AVRO-3146
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3146
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Test
          Components: python
    Affects Versions: 1.10.2
            Reporter: Michael A. Smith


Based on [a CodeQL 
finding|https://github.com/apache/avro/security/code-scanning/464], it seems 
decimal logical types are probably broken and need testing with various 
encoding and decoding steps. I think:

1. Python decimal exponents are always negative, and avro schema scales are 
always positive, so the {{if exp > scale: raise}} check does not raise an 
exception.
2. If it did, it would raise the wrong exception, because it would fail to 
instantiate the exception class.
