    We should int32, int64 if possible, see 
https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/LogicalTypes.md#decimal
    ```
    DECIMAL can be used to annotate the following types:
    
    int32: for 1 <= precision <= 9
    int64: for 1 <= precision <= 18; precision <= 10 will produce a warning
    fixed_len_byte_array: precision is limited by the array size. Length n can 
store <= floor(log_10(2^(8*n - 1) - 1)) base-10 digits
    binary: precision is not limited, but is required. The minimum number of 
bytes to store the unscaled value should be used.
    ```
