[jira] [Created] (ARROW-2009) [Format] Support 32- and 64-bit decimals in IPC messages

Wes McKinney created ARROW-2009:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Format] Support 32- and 64-bit decimals in IPC messages
                 Key: ARROW-2009
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2009
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Format
            Reporter: Wes McKinney


Some systems may wish to send 32- or 64-bit decimal values on the wire without any conversions. Computations engines using Arrow may choose to promote these to 128-bit right away on receipt, but it would be useful to be enable systems with native handling of the smaller-size types to be able to send data via Arrow streams / IPC without extra serialization
