How would I insert a decimal value?

[noonie2k]

I'm attempting to insert a value into a column with datatype decimal and am trouble getting the correct outcome...

cqlsh:test_keyspace> DESCRIBE TABLE test_decimal ;

CREATE TABLE test_decimal (
  id int,
  value decimal,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
) WITH
  bloom_filter_fp_chance=0.010000 AND
  caching='KEYS_ONLY' AND
  comment='' AND
  dclocal_read_repair_chance=0.100000 AND
  gc_grace_seconds=864000 AND
  index_interval=128 AND
  read_repair_chance=0.000000 AND
  replicate_on_write='true' AND
  populate_io_cache_on_flush='false' AND
  default_time_to_live=0 AND
  speculative_retry='99.0PERCENTILE' AND
  memtable_flush_period_in_ms=0 AND
  compaction={'class': 'SizeTieredCompactionStrategy'} AND
  compression={'sstable_compression': 'LZ4Compressor'};

// Insert using the php-cassandra-binary package
$database->query('INSERT INTO test_decimal (id, value) VALUES (:id, :value);', ['id' => 1, 'value' => 1.23]);

cqlsh:test_keyspace> INSERT INTO test_decimal (id, value) VALUES (2, 1.23);
cqlsh:test_keyspace> SELECT * FROM test_decimal ;

 id | value
----+-------
  1 |     1
  2 |  1.23

(2 rows)

It appears that the decimal part is always lost when inserting via this package.
(I'm using dev-master at revision 7185308)

Am I doing something wrong or is this a genuine bug?

Thanks for an awesome library that is helping me get away from pdo_cassandra and the Thrift protocol!

I am looking into this right now and it seems to be a bug at the current state. I am working on resolving it.
