> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14925
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Legacy/Core
> Reporter: Zhao Yang
> Assignee: Zhao Yang
> Priority: Low
>
> Currently, in {{DecimalSerializer.toString(value)}}, it uses {{BigDecimal.toPlainString()}} which generates huge string for large scale values.
>
> {code:java}
> BigDecimal d = new BigDecimal("1e-" + (Integer.MAX_VALUE - 6));
> d.toPlainString(); // oom{code}
>
> Propose to use {{BigDecimal.toString()}} when scale is larger than 100 which is configurable via {{-Dcassandra.decimal.maxscaleforstring}}

> The code should apply cleanly to 3.0+.
