> For other types we error on truncation, so I figured we would do the same here, if you're fine with truncation why not just use floats? I dunno, I'm not very knowledgeable about decimals, so happy to defer to you 😅 This follows current rounding behavior when casting between decimals with different scales. It rounds to nearest neighbor and round up when both neighbors are equidistant. I added one more test to make it more clear. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
