<!--
*Thank you very much for contributing to Apache Avro - we are happy that you
want to help us improve Avro. To help the community review your contribution in
the best possible way, please go through the checklist below, which will get
the contribution into a shape in which it can be best reviewed.*
*Please understand that we do not do this to make contributions to Avro a
hassle. In order to uphold a high standard of quality for code contributions,
while at the same time managing a large number of contributions, we need
contributors to prepare the contributions well, and give reviewers enough
contextual information for the review. Please also understand that
contributions that do not follow this guide will take longer to review and thus
typically be picked up with lower priority by the community.*
## Contribution Checklist
- Make sure that the pull request corresponds to a [JIRA
issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/AVRO/issues). Exceptions are
made for typos in JavaDoc or documentation files, which need no JIRA issue.
- Name the pull request in the form "AVRO-XXXX: [component] Title of the
pull request", where *AVRO-XXXX* should be replaced by the actual issue number.
The *component* is optional, but can help identify the correct reviewers
faster: either the language ("java", "python") or subsystem such as "build" or
"doc" are good candidates.
- Fill out the template below to describe the changes contributed by the
pull request. That will give reviewers the context they need to do the review.
- Make sure that the change passes the automated tests. You can [build the
entire project](https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/BUILD.md) or just
the [language-specific
SDK](https://avro.apache.org/project/how-to-contribute/#unit-tests).
- Each pull request should address only one issue, not mix up code from
multiple issues.
- Each commit in the pull request has a meaningful commit message
(including the JIRA id)
- Every commit message references Jira issues in their subject lines. In
addition, commits follow the guidelines from [How to write a good git commit
message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/)
1. Subject is separated from body by a blank line
1. Subject is limited to 50 characters (not including Jira issue
reference)
1. Subject does not end with a period
1. Subject uses the imperative mood ("add", not "adding")
1. Body wraps at 72 characters
1. Body explains "what" and "why", not "how"

## What is the purpose of the change
[AVRO-3779](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3779) : the idea is
to propose a big-decimal type where scale is stored inside value, allowing
flexible big decimal field in schema (as there is no need to anticipate scale,
nor precision).
This draft PR is related to equivalent [for
Java](https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/2282).
## Verifying this change
This change added unit tests and can be verified by running it
Still need to check if serialization is same as Java (or change);
