> Currently, the csv adapter does not support the decimal/numeric column type 
> (see supported types in 
> [CsvFieldType|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/4bc916619fd286b2c0cc4d5c653c96a68801d74e/file/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/adapter/file/CsvFieldType.java#L35].
>  Any type that is not supported will be interpreted by the 
> [CsvEnumerator|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/file/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/adapter/file/CsvEnumerator.java]
>  as string.
> When dealing with decimal numbers, the currently most appropriate type is 
> `double`. However, this is not accurate enough for financial data. This 
> feature request proposes adding a `decimal` column type that will be 
> implemented by the Java `BigDecimal` type (and by conversion in 
> [JavaToSqlTypeConversionRules|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/4bc916619fd286b2c0cc4d5c653c96a68801d74e/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/sql/type/JavaToSqlTypeConversionRules.java#L74]
>  be represented as a `Decimal` SQL type). This allow financial data to be 
> represented and computed more accurately (`BigDecimal` has higher precision 
> than `double`).
> Please see sample implementation in PR.
> Context: I am trying to leverage Calcite to add some SQL support to 
> [ledger|https://www.ledger-cli.org/] reporting.
