Github user mgaido91 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/22494 I don't really agree with this. As I mentioned [here](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/22450#issuecomment-423077220), I think we can avoid to use negative scales regardless of the value of the flag, since before #20023 a negative scale here is not possible. So I think we can just add a check for avoiding a non-negative scale in `DecimalType.fromLiteral`.
