> When using DECIMAL types in Flink SQL along with JSON format, it is quite common to see that some large values are written out as scientific notation. For example:
> Definition: `orderId DECIMAL(20, 0)`
> Input: `\{"orderId":454621864049246170}`
> Output (without transformations): `\{"orderId":4.5462186404924617E+17}`
> However, values in plain numbers are easier to understand and more convenient for the case shown above. So we can provide a boolean option (say `json.use-plain-decimals`?) to make this behavior tunable.
