> How do we decide what significant digits to use when mix different decimals in arithmetic calculations? Current implementation is to use numerator as reference, this might not be optimal. Here is an example:
> drill:
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select cast('123456789' as decimal(9,0)) / cast('12345678901234.56789123456789' as decimal(28,14)) from data limit 1;
