Hi @sweb, I'm providing general comments, I'll look at this in detail over the days. I see that you're using `i128` as the backing type. One of the reasons that's prevented us from making progress on this, is not having a good BigDecimal impl in Rust to use. The biggest hurdle will be converting `123.45f64` to decimals, as we'll need to do that for integration testing. On the JIRA itself, the plan was to add the type, then also: * add support on the IPC reader and writer * enable decimal types in integration teting I'm fine with us doing the above as follow-ups, as they'd be quite involved. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
