Kenta Murata commented on ARROW-14518:
--------------------------------------
{quote}Could you add BigDecimal#scale?{quote}
Yes, I'll add it. But the new property will be available only with the latest
{{bigdecimal}} gem.
To support older versions of {{bigdecimal}} gems, we need to detect the
existence of {{BigDecimal#scale}} and emulate it when it is absent.

> Key: ARROW-14518
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14518
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Ruby
> Reporter: Kanstantsin Ilchanka
> Priority: Minor
>
> When trying to convert raw data with decimal values to Arrow::Table error
> received
>
> {code:java}
> Arrow::Table.new(x: [BigDecimal('1.1')])
> ArgumentError: wrong arguments: Arrow::Decimal128ArrayBuilder#initialize():
> available signatures: (data_type:
> interface(Arrow::Decimal128DataType(GArrowDecimal128DataType)))
> {code}
> I guess this is because Decimal128ArrayBuilder expects Decimal128DataType in
> initialiser, however I'm not sure how to correctly and effectively detect
> precision and scale from array of BigDecimal
>
> {code:java}
> Arrow::VERSION
> => "5.0.0"{code}
