On DecimalType, I want to point out that we haven't hardened the memory
format and integration tests between Java<->C++ within Arrow. It would be great
if you could help with this -- we ran into a problem in C++ where we needed an
extra sign bit with 16-byte high precision decimals. So we have 3 memory
representations:
- 4 byte decimals (low precision)
- 8 byte
- 16 byte plus sign bitmap
What is Spark's internal memory representation? cc @cpcloud
