Marco Gaido commented on SPARK-28348:
-------------------------------------
There is no cast to `decimal(38, 6)`. The reson why the result is "truncated"
at the 6th scale number is explained in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-22036 and it it controlled by
{{spark.sql.decimalOperations.allowPrecisionLoss}}. I see no issue here
honestly.

> I think we do not need to cast result to {{decimal(38, 6)}} and then cast
> result to {{decimal(38, 18)}} for this case.
