+For default values, the serialization depends on the type of the corresponding
column or nested field. The mapping of types and their corresponding default
value JSON serialization is described in the following table:
+
+| Type | Json type | Example
| Note
|
+|--------------------|--------------------|------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **`boolean`** | **`json boolean`** | `true`
|
|
+| **`int`** | **`json int`** | `1`
|
|
+| **`long`** | **`json long`** | `1`
|
|
+| **`float`** | **`json float`** | `1.1`
|
|
+| **`double`** | **`json double`** | `1.1`
|
|
+| **`decimal(P,S)`** | **`string`** | `"0x3162"`
| Stores the unscaled value, as the two's-complement big-endian binary
using the minimum number of bytes, converted to a hexadecimal string prefixed
by `0x`

Review comment:
Actually it seems `json number` can also encode arbitrary length decimal
numbers? do you think we should use string or number ?
