   You can try TypeSignature::String now if you want to coerce any type to 
string. 
   
   The current logic is which won't coerce Utf8 to LargeUtf8
   ```rust
   pub fn string_coercion(lhs_type: &DataType, rhs_type: &DataType) -> 
Option<DataType> {
       use arrow::datatypes::DataType::*;
       match (lhs_type, rhs_type) {
           // If Utf8View is in any side, we coerce to Utf8View.
           (Utf8View, Utf8View | Utf8 | LargeUtf8) | (Utf8 | LargeUtf8, 
Utf8View) => {
               Some(Utf8View)
           }
           // Then, if LargeUtf8 is in any side, we coerce to LargeUtf8.
           (LargeUtf8, Utf8 | LargeUtf8) | (Utf8, LargeUtf8) => Some(LargeUtf8),
           // Utf8 coerces to Utf8
           (Utf8, Utf8) => Some(Utf8),
           _ => None,
       }
   }
   ```
