What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Hive UDAFPercentile takes a double or an array of doubles as its second argument. Spark typically passes a decimal or an array of decimals. This will causes a failure during function lookup for the percentile function.
We added a stop-gap measure in #13930 for doubles, by retrying the lookup with all decimal arguments casted to doubles. This PR extends this approach by adding the same logic for arrays of decimals.
Note that this is a temporary measure until #14136 is merged.
