Description
An Avro decimal logical type annotates Avro bytes or fixed types.
Current Row to Avro conversion is limited to bytes type and in addition hardcodes precision to MAX_INT and scale to 0.
I have attached a patch that adds support for decimal bytes and fixed types.
I could think of 2 possible ways to solve this:
- Change Row decimal type to a logical type
- Use Beam field options to pass additional metadata required to serialize decimals
I felt that overhauling Beam schema types might not be a good idea. Instead I went with option 2.
