http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2762/2/fe/src/main/java/com/cloudera/impala/analysis/CaseExpr.java
File fe/src/main/java/com/cloudera/impala/analysis/CaseExpr.java:

Line 237:     // Keep track of maximum compatible type of case expr and all 
when exprs.
Add a comment that explains why we are doing these casts, e.g.:
 
// Since we have no BE implementation of a CaseExpr with CHAR types,
// we cast the CHAR-typed whenExprs to STRING,
// TODO: This casting is not always correct and needs to be fixed, see 
IMPALA-1652.

Line 1701:     // IMPALA-3155
add a brief explanation what behavior this test is asserting (that a CHAR type 
is returned when all THEN exprs are of type CHAR).
