> I believe that the encoded representation of the decimal should be the unscaled value, not a string representation. Even worse, you have to produce a special sequence of bytes (which in Ruby is a string, but don't let that fool you into thinking `"1.234"` is correct). It must conform to this specification: > A decimal logical type annotates Avro bytes or fixed types. The byte array must contain the two's-complement representation of the unscaled integer value in big-endian byte order. The scale is fixed, and is specified using an attribute. https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Decimal (copied from the other ticket) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
