perf(calcite): total decimal SUM/AVG exactly as unscaled longs in the scan

 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
+- `DecimalArray.getUnscaledLong(long)` reads a decimal's unscaled value without building a `BigDecimal`. ([#563](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/563))
 - `Compute.groupedAggregate(Chunk, ColumnName, RowFilter, ColumnName)` folds an aggregate per value of a dictionary-encoded string, boolean or integer column. ([#555](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/555))
 - `Chunk.slice(offset, length)` gives a zero-copy view of a row range. ([#550](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/550))
 - The Calcite adapter tells the planner each table's row count, so join order and costing use the real table size. ([#550](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/550))
@@ -17,6 +18,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Custom extension types: register an `ExtensionDecoder` on `ReadRegistry` and an `ExtensionEncoder` on `WriteRegistry`, with a `validate` hook on both sides, and `Chunk.as` decodes any registered type. ([#530](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/530))
 
 ### Changed
+- SQL `SUM` and `AVG` of a decimal column, grouped or not, are 4 to 6 times faster: they are totalled exactly as unscaled longs in the scan instead of by Calcite with a `BigDecimal` per row. ([#563](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/563))
 - SQL `COUNT(DISTINCT col)` is up to 4 times faster: distinct values are counted in the scan, integers by their bits in a primitive map, instead of Calcite hashing a boxed value per row. ([#562](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/562))
 - A SQL `WHERE` comparing a `SMALLINT` or `TINYINT` column with a literal is pushed into the scan and its aggregates, instead of being left to Calcite because of the cast Calcite adds. ([#560](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/560))
 - SQL `MIN`/`MAX` of a date, time or timestamp column is answered from zone maps, and scans read those columns without building a `java.time` object per row. ([#559](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/559))

 `vortex.stats` zone map records (writes targeting an edition before `core2026.08.0`); with Rust's
 `vortex.zoned` — the default since #447, and every Rust-written file — `sum` is answered by a scan.
+A `sum` of a decimal column (precision up to 18) is totalled in that scan as unscaled longs, not by
