> As pointed out by [~dkbiswal]'s comment https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/22450#issuecomment-423082389, most of other RDBMS (DB2, Presto, Hive, MSSQL) consider literals as DOUBLE by default.
> Spark as of now consider them as DECIMAL. This is quite problematic especially in relation with the operations on decimal, for which we base our implementation on Hive/MSSQL.
> So this ticket is for moving by default the resolution of literals as DOUBLE, but with a config which allows to get back to the previous behavior.
