> How do we decide what significant digits to use when mix different decimals
> in arithmetic calculations? Current implementation is to use numerator as
> reference, this might not be optimal. Here is an example:
> drill:
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select cast('123456789' as decimal(9,0)) /
> cast('12345678901234.56789123456789' as decimal(28,14)) from data limit 1;
> +------------+

> postgres:
> foodmart=# select cast('123456789' as decimal(9,0)) /
> cast('12345678901234.56789123456789' as decimal(28,14)) from data limit 1;
