      Description

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      		 
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a DECIMAL(17,1)) ENGINE=ColumnStore;
      		 
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (-8999999999999999.9);
      		 
      SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(a) FROM t1;


      +---------------------+
      		 
      | GROUP_CONCAT(a)     |
      		 
      +---------------------+
      		 
      | -9000000000000000.0 |
      		 
      +---------------------+

      Looks wrong. The expected result is '-8999999999999999.9'.

      This happens because the underlying printing code in GroupConcator::outputRow() uses double representation.
      It should be fixed to print DECIMAL natively.
