   > 123
   
   I am confused about this, if the data type is decimal(10,-2) and the 128-bit 
integer is `123`, it represent the value of `12300`, and the value has been 
changed after casting.
   
   I think the 128-bit integer should be `12` after casted to decimal(10,-2).
   
   From the doc: 
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.decimal128.html#pyarrow-decimal128
 
   
   ```
   decimal128(5, -3) can exactly represent the number 12345000 (encoded 
internally as the 128-bit integer 12345), but neither 123450000 nor 1234500.
   ```
