             Summary: MajorType passed into UDF with FieldReader has unset prec, scale for DECIMAL
                 Key: DRILL-6378
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6378
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.13.0
            Reporter: Paul Rogers


UDFs allow passing in a generic {{FieldReader}} such as for the {{typeof}} function. I tried to modify the new {{sqlTypeOf()}} function to include the DECIMAL precision and scale, something like: {{DECIMAL(9, 2)}}.

But, the {{MajorType}} associated with the {{FieldReader}} has these values as 0. Not sure if it is because the DECIMAL is the result of a cast, or if there is a deeper bug.

Query:

{noformat}
ALTER SESSION SET `planner.enable_decimal_data_type` = true;

SELECT sqlTypeof(CAST(a AS DECIMAL)) FROM (VALUES (1)) AS T(a);
{noformat}

Debug information for the {{MajorType}}

{noformat}
type	TypeProtos$MajorType  (id=151)	
precision_	0	
scale_	0	
{noformat}

This bug is not simply a nuisance for formatting. The precision and scale are required to make sense of any {{DECIMAL}} values that the function wants to process: without these values, the function does not know the meaning of the {{DECIMAL}} data.

Once this bug is fixed, reenable the type suffix code in {{UnionFunctions.extendType()}}.
