IMPALA-4821: Update AVG() for DECIMAL_V2
This change implements the DECIMAL_V2's behavior for AVG().
The differences with DECIMAL_V1 are:
1. The output type has a minimum scale of 6. This is similar
to MS SQL's behavior which takes the max of 6 and the input
type's scale. We deviate from MS SQL in the output's precision
which tends to be 38. We use the smallest precision which can
store the output. One key insight is that the output of AVG()
is no wider than the input. Precision only needs to be adjusted
when the scale is augmented. Using a smaller precision avoids
potential loss of precision in subsequent decimal operations
(e.g. division) which take output of AVG() as inputs. Please
note that the output type is different from SUM()/COUNT() as
the latter can have a much larger scale.
2. Due to a minimum of 6 decimal places for the output,
AVG() for decimal types whose whole number part exceeds 32
decimal places (e.g. DECIMAL(38,4), DECIMAL(33,0)) will
always overflow as the scale is augmented to 6. Certain
decimal types which work with AVG() in DECIMAL_V1 no longer
work in DECIMAL_V2.
