In the #122 and #1356, I add new datatype(decimal) and propose a more clear coercion rule for expr system.
When I add decimal to the SUM and AVG function #1408 , I meet some problem.
It's about the returned data type.
For example:
https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/415c5e124af18a05500514f78604366d860dcf5a/datafusion/src/physical_plan/expressions/sum.rs#L49 for floating-point datatype, the pg use the double-precision(double/float64) as the returned data type, but the datafusion is different.
There may be other different rules in spark
Which rule should we follow? For example sum and avg?
