Description
If the middle of a pt-online-schema change using --set-vars binlogformat=ROW the following replication error.
The table was created on 5.0.34 and has since been upgraded over time to 5.5.29. Could it be the column is the old decimal format?

After changing the format to doubles I had different conversion error at the same position.
alter table _lightning_new modify latitude double NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.0000000,modify longitude double NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.0000000, modify amperage double DEFAULT NULL;

> Most likely the slave was initialized at some point on a 5.x version, e.g. from a master dump
Yes it was.
> why exactly pt-online-schema-change failed? What was the error?
It was user aborted due to slave errors.
> server uses binlog_format=mixed (is it so?
Yes. In fact this in very new too (last 1-2 weeks ago).
> Problem 1

Only its really needed, with some really big warnings, or leave it for the user to fix, a large table alter can take several hours compared to what is normally a really quick mysql_update.
> Problem 2: When a row event which was written for DECIMAL is applied to NEWDECIMAL, the described error occurs. It doesn't seem reasonable, I suppose the slave can handle it better.
Especially considering its handing it now fine. I guess its reverted to SBR method since its still mixed.
Problem 3:
seg fault with set global slave_type_conversions='ALL_NON_LOSSY,ALL_LOSSY'; (comment 1)
> Problem 1
> ALTER TABLE .. FORCE does not change DECIMAL to NEWDECIMAL. Maybe it should
Only its really needed, with some really big warnings, or leave it for the user to fix, a large table alter can take several hours compared to what is normally a really quick mysql_update.
Yeah, but keep in mind that mysql_upgrade already performs ALTER TABLE .. FORCE when it encounters a table like that; it's just that this ALTER TABLE doesn't change the internal column type.
I guess its reverted to SBR method since its still mixed.
It should have if you removed the triggers that pt-online-schema-change created, but if you didn't I think it shouldn't have reverted to SBR. In the latter case it would be interesting to see how the binlog looks now.
Problem 3:
seg fault with set global slave_type_conversions='ALL_NON_LOSSY,ALL_LOSSY'
Right, thanks for reminding. And at some point I also had a debug assertion failure that I hopefully will be able to reproduce. Depending on what bar decides about the first two problems, the crash/assertion can either stay a part of this issue (if it gets fixed), or go into a separate one, since segfault should be fixed regardless the fate of the other problems.
It should have if you removed the triggers that pt-online-schema-change created,
Yes I removed the triggers, then added replication filters, then started replication to bypass the issue.
In the latter case it would be interesting to see how the binlog looks now.
Not applicable. And enough interesting aspects already 
On note there were other slaves, older and perhaps having an original old decimal table definition that didn't encounter this replication error.
The segfault was an upstream issue, fixed in MySQL 5.5.34 – not sure exactly by which patch, but it was reproducible on older versions of MySQL and on MariaDB 5.5 up to revno 3975 (the merge of MySQL 5.5.34 into MariaDB 5.5), and disappeared after that. Now it returns the error instead:
Last_SQL_Errno: 1678

Last_SQL_Error: Can't create conversion table for table 'test.lightning'
|
which is understandable since the allowed conversions are defined explicitly ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-features-differing-tables.html#replication-features-attribute-promotion ) and DECIMAL=>NEWDECIMAL is not one of them.
The "what's next" part.
The workaround for the problem is pretty obvious: do the job that pt-online-schema-change was trying to do – create a new table via the full create table statement (not via CREATE TABLE .. LIKE), alter it as you need, populate from the old table, and then switch to the new one.
For actual fixing, I see two points of misbehavior here. I don't know which of them can and must be fixed, so I will reassign it to the datatype expert bar to make the decision.
Problem 1: the deprecated datatype does not get upgraded.
When mysql_upgrade from a 5.x version checks the table taken from 4.1, it does actually notice that something is seriously wrong with it, and says that ALTER TABLE .. FORCE must be performed (and it actually performs it). However, ALTER TABLE .. FORCE does not change DECIMAL to NEWDECIMAL. Maybe it should?
Problem 2: When a row event which was written for DECIMAL is applied to NEWDECIMAL, the described error occurs. It doesn't seem reasonable, I suppose the slave can handle it better.
