--------------------------------------------------------------------

{{'Decimal'}} is a logical type in AVRO. It can be represented in AVRO 
'{{{}bytes{}}}' or '{{{}fixed'{}}} types.
According to the Iceberg specification, the implementations and the Iceberg 
library can read both, but write '{{{}decimal'{}}} with '{{{}fixed'{}}} type, 
and so does Hive, when we create and insert into an Iceberg table.  However, 
Impala can only read '{{{}bytes{}}}'. {{'Fixed'}} type is currently not 
supported, that is why the error message says:
{code:java}
Avro enum, array, map, union, and fixed types are not supported. Got type: 
fixed{code}
