Review comment:
From [design
document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kfWUZ_OsEmLOJu_tKZO0-ZUJwc52drrm15fyif7BmzQ/edit#)
there is a note which says Drill computes scale/precision for mod function
differently and formula is as below. Not sure what the reason was. Also the
comment above that line says precision should be atleast equal or greater than
input precision. So if max of input precision is > 38 then that will be chosen
as precision, if < 38 then a greater number 38 will be chosen. Do you still
think this is a bug?
```
For mod function resulting precision also differs:
p = Max(range(Max(s1,s2)+p1-s1),Max(p1,p2))
```
