    Description

      Because of using double as a temporary storage for decimal in Func_mod::getDecimalVal, the MOD operator looses precision on huge narrow decimal values:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a DECIMAL(18,0)) ENGINE=ColumnStore;
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (999999999999999999);
      SELECT a MOD 10000 FROM t1;
      

      +-------------+
      | a MOD 10000 |
      +-------------+
      |           0 |
      +-------------+
      

      Looks wrong. The expected result is:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a DECIMAL(18,0)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (999999999999999999);
      SELECT a MOD 10000 FROM t1;
      

      +-------------+
      | a MOD 10000 |
      +-------------+
      |        9999 |
      +-------------+
      

      The same problem presents in the template Func_mod::doDecimal:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a DECIMAL(18,0)) ENGINE=ColumnStore;
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (999999999999999999);
      SELECT RAND(9999), RAND(a MOD 10000) FROM t1;
      

      +--------------------+---------------------+
      | RAND(9999)         | RAND(a MOD 10000)   |
      +--------------------+---------------------+
      | 0.7361292641015065 | 0.15522042769493574 |
      +--------------------+---------------------+
      

      The result for the second column looks wrong.

      The expected result is:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a DECIMAL(18,0)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (999999999999999999);
      SELECT RAND(9999), RAND(a MOD 10000) FROM t1;
      

      +--------------------+--------------------+
      | RAND(9999)         | RAND(a MOD 10000)  |
      +--------------------+--------------------+
      | 0.7361292641015065 | 0.7361292641015065 |
      +--------------------+--------------------+
