Volodymyr Vysotskyi commented on DRILL-6710:
--------------------------------------------
It should be noted that with this fix query above will fail.
Another option we may consider for such cases where scale becomes negative due
to the assumption that value may not fit the max numeric precision is to left
precision max for resulting major type and check the precision of the value at
the execution stage.
[~shamirwasia], what do you think about this?
