[jira] [Updated] (ARROW-11665) Document precision and scale
parameters of decimal128()
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11665?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
ARF updated ARROW-11665:
------------------------
Description:
In pyarrow, the {{decimal128()}} factory takes two parameters, {{precision}} and {{scale}}.
It is unclear to me, what these parameters are and how to use them. Unfortunately, the wikipedia entry for Decimal128 does not help either.
