**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** <!-- A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] (This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for this feature, in addition to the *what*) --> Current multiply kernel cannot allow precision loss when performing on decimal arrays. However, this is a requirement for decimal multiplication in practice, e.g. Spark supports it. It is difficult to ask users to manually adjust input data. **Describe the solution you'd like** <!-- A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. --> It can image that such operation is slower than current multiply, so making it as default seems not acceptable. It seems more reasonable to provide additional decimal specific multiply kernel for that. **Describe alternatives you've considered** <!-- A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. --> We cannot do this. **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
