Thank you very much for your commitment into making this through, @alamb! I am very happy with this outcome. In the meanwhile, I've realized that type coercion is not supported for a (`Timestamp`, `Utf8`) pair, which in my opinion would be very interesting and relevant. I looked a bit into this and have a suggestion to add this feature, so I took the freedom to create a new issue [#4311](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/4311) to address it. As I mention there, unfortunately Arrow does not support type coercion for (`Timestamp`, `Utf8`) if the time unit considered is other than nanoseconds, so the output type for type coercion between a string and a timestamp has to be a timestamp to nanosecond accuracy, no matter the original time unit. I will open a PR with the suggested changes, and if you agree we could add that feature as well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
