## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Here is a table about the behaviours of `array`/`map` and `greatest`/`least` in Hive, MySQL and Postgres: | |Hive|MySQL|Postgres| |---|---|---|---|---| |`array`/`map`|can find a wider type with decimal type arguments, and will truncate the wider decimal type if necessary|can find a wider type with decimal type arguments, no truncation problem|can find a wider type with decimal type arguments, no truncation problem| |`greatest`/`least`|can find a wider type with decimal type arguments, and truncate if necessary, but can't do string promotion|can find a wider type with decimal type arguments, no truncation problem, but can't do string promotion|can find a wider type with decimal type arguments, no truncation problem, but can't do string promotion| I think these behaviours makes sense and Spark SQL should follow them. This PR fixes `array` and `map` by using `findWiderCommonType` to get the wider type. This PR fixes `greatest` and `least` by add a `findWiderTypeWithoutStringPromotion`, which provides similar semantic of `findWiderCommonType`, but without string promotion. ## How was this patch tested? new tests in `TypeCoersionSuite` Author: Wenchen Fan <wenchen@databricks.com> Author: Yin Huai <yhuai@databricks.com> Closes #14439 from cloud-fan/bug. |
