What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The PR #46338 found
schema_of_variant
sometimes could not correctly handle variant decimals and had a fix. However, I found that the fix is incomplete andschema_of_variant
can still fail on some inputs. The reason is thatVariantUtil.getDecimal
callsstripTrailingZeros
. For an input decimal10.00
, the resulting scale is -1 and the unscaled value is 1. However, negative decimal scale is not allowed by Spark. The correct approach is to use theBigDecimal
to construct aDecimal
and read its precision and scale, as what we did inVariantGet
.This PR also includes a minor change for
VariantGet
, where a duplicated expression is computed twice.Why are the changes needed?
They are bug fixes and are required to process decimals correctly.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
More unit tests. Some of them would fail without the change in this PR (e.g.,
check("10.00", "DECIMAL(2,0)")
). Others wouldn't fail, but can still enhance test coverage.Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
No.
