Typo in the DECIMAL type documentation?

[Kyle Buzsaki <kb...@gmail.com>]

The documentation for the DECIMAL type on the phoenix docs here:

http://phoenix.apache.org/language/datatypes.html#decimal_type

says that the maximum number of digits is 18. This does not match the
PDataType.MAX_PRECISION constant of 38. Furthermore, I have tested this by
sending by sending a high precision BigDecimal on a round trip through
DECIMAL.toBytes() and then DECIMAL.toObject(), and from what I can tell it
supports a precision of up to 38 digits. My suspicion then is that the
documentation is wrong and the 18 should be 38. Can someone confirm?

Yes, that's a doc bug. Should say 38.  Thanks,
