Phillip Cloud updated ARROW-1761:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
This is a JIRA to discuss the behavior of operator kernels that require more 
than one decimal column input where the column types have a different {{scale}} 
parameter.

For example:

{code}
a: decimal(12, 2)
b: decimal(10, 3)

c = a + b
{code}

Arithmetic is the primary use case, but anything that needs to efficiently 
operate on decimal columns with different scales would require this 
functionality.

I imagine that [~jnadeau] and folks at Dremio have thought about and solved the 
problem in Java. If so, we should consider implementing this behavior in C++. 
Otherwise, I'll do a bit of reading and digging to see how existing systems 
efficiently handle this problem.
