> Most JSON data that utilizes precise decimal data represents it as a decimal string. Kafka Connect, on the other hand, only supports a binary HEX string encoding (see example below). We should support deserialization and serialization for any of the following types:
> {code:java}
> {
>   "asHex": "D3J5",
>   "asString": "10.12345"
>   "asNumber": 10.2345
> }{code}
