https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/4664#issuecomment-1676091528 summarises my thoughts on the issue having spent significant time on this. TLDR is we already support a higher precision than most commercial systems, and given this and the fact I personally have no use-cases for decimals, find it hard to justify spending more of my time on this. Ultimately if someone really wants true arbitrary precision decimal arithmetic a la postgres or spark, arrow is probably the wrong tool. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
