             Summary: Request for Documentation for Fixed Decimal Type in JSON data representation
                 Key: AVRO-3050
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3050
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: java, logical types
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Divya


We are trying to use a fixed type for logicalType Decimal. We create JSON and then convert it into Parquet(Avro). There, we are trying to call conversion.toFixed(), but it is returning in bytes (Array.toString(bytes)). We are using Avro 1.8 version.
 
BigDecimal d1 = new BigDecimal("124.56")

LogicalType decimal = LogicalTypes.decimal(9, 2);

Schema fixedSchema = Schema.createFixed(Schema.Type.FIXED.name, null, null, 16);

Conversion<BigDecimal> conversion = new Conversions.DecimalConversion();

GenericFixed d1fixed = conversion.toFixed(d1, fixedSchema, decimal);
 
 
Is there any method that we can use to convert it into 'Fixed text' that JSONDecoder is expecting? Any help will be appreciated.
