I'm also still confused by this solution. The contract should be as
follows: internally we use catalyst mutable decimal type. thus, the UDF code
should only ever see that type. When we pass back to the user we should expose
the correct type of BigDecimal (but we might be consolidating this so we only
ever return the Java BigDecimal type).
