mgaido91 opened a new pull request #25035: [SPARK-28235][SQL] Sum of decimals should return a decimal with MAX_PRECISION URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/25035 ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Spark's decimal operations implementation follows what SQLServer does. This is not true for the `Sum` operation. In that case, SQLServer returns `DECIMAL(38, s)` where `s` is the scale of the input of the sum operator. Spark instead, uses as precision of the result type `p + 10` where `p` is the precision of the input type. This can cause overflows, which can be avoided with a higher precision: it happens in particular with sums of many decimals with a small precision. ## How was this patch tested? changed UTs
