Summary
Arrow cannot support reading CSV using decimal256. We add support by first reading them as strings and then casting to decimal256. Secondly, we support rounding decimal values to scale specified in the schema if the decimal values in the CSV does not conform to scale.
Rationale
The behavior will be same as Spark compaction.
