Description
### Describe your feedback
Currently, the behavior is that if the string that is sent to serialize is bigger, we send only the length defined in the table schema.
A good approach is to have a flag that indicates if it's a bigger throw Exception or send only a string of a defined size.
### Code example
How it's done today
writeFixedString only what is needed.
```java
BinaryStreamUtils.writeFixedString(stream, convertToString(value), column.getPrecision());
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the serialization call to BinaryStreamUtils.writeFixedString in the Java client, where column.getPrecision() limits the value. Review how FixedString columns are represented and how serialization errors are handled; done means the chosen behavior for oversized strings is configurable and covered by tests, but the issue does not name existing test files.
