Wrong handling of options for fields of type "bytes"?

[mortenberg80]

I'm having trouble getting correct data into a decimal-field (type=bytes with logical type="decimal") when using kafka-connect-datagen.

{
  "name": "TRANSACTION_AMOUNT",
  "type": {
    "type": "bytes",
    "arg.properties": {
      "options": [
        "10.00"
      ]
    }
  }
},

Gives me the following data: "TRANSACTION_AMOUNT" : "2112617308.64"

This works with the arg-cli, but not in kafka-connect-datagen. Base64-encoding the input does not fix the problem either.
