This change fixes:
MCOL-4462 CAST(varchar_expr AS DECIMAL(M,N)) returns a wrong result
MCOL-4500 Bit functions processing throws internally trying to cast char into decimal representation
MCOL-4532 CAST(AS DECIMAL) returns a garbage for large values
Also, this change makes string-to-decimal conversion 5-10 times faster,
depending on exact data.
Performance implemenent is achieved by the fact that (unlike in the old
implementation), the new version does not do any "string" object copying.
MCOL-4409 This patch combines VDecimal and Decimal and makes
IDB_Decimal an alias for the result class
MCOL-4409 More boilerplate reduction in Func_mod
Removed couple TSInt128::toType() methods
1. In TupleAggregateStep::configDeliveredRowGroup(), use
jobInfo.projectionCols instead of jobInfo.nonConstCols
for setting scale and precision if the source column is
wide decimal.
2. Tighten rules for wide decimal processing. Specifically:
a. Replace (precision > INT64MAXPRECISION) checks with
(precision > INT64MAXPRECISION && precision <= INT128MAXPRECISION)
b. At places where (colWidth == MAXDECIMALWIDTH) is not enough to
determine if a column is wide decimal or not, also add a check on
type being DECIMAL/UDECIMAL.
DOUBLE typecast was not supported and the failure detection caused a
crash.
This patch adds support for DOUBLE typecast and fixes the crash caused
when a non-supported function is detected as part of an arithmatic.
For the initial BLOB/TEXT pull request we put them in the same bucket as
VARBINARY, forcing many functions to be disabled. This patch enables the
same TEXT function support as VARCHAR.
