James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-2886: --------------------------------------- Yes, exactly, [~sergey.soldatov], thanks. That's a much better way of saying it. That's similar to what CaseExpression.coerceIfNecessary() does. But the isCoercible doesn't take into account scale and max length, so you'd need to track that and keep the largest one as you loop through the types. > Union ALL with Char column not present in the table in Query 1 but in Query > 2 throw exception > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-2886 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2886 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Alicia Ying Shu > Assignee: Alicia Ying Shu > Fix For: 4.8.0 > > > To reproduce: > create table person ( id bigint not null primary key, firstname char(10), > lastname varchar(10) ); > upsert into person values( 1, 'john', 'doe'); > upsert into person values( 2, 'jane', 'doe'); > -- fixed value for char(10) > select id, 'foo' firstname, lastname from person union all select * from > person; > java.lang.RuntimeException: java.sql.SQLException: ERROR 201 (22000): Illegal > data.
