scsmithr opened a new issue, #15161:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/15161
### Describe the bug
A comparison like `column1 < '10'` (where `column1` is an int64) will cast
`column1` to utf8 instead of casting the utf8 constant to an integer.
Typically string constants in a sql query are treated as unknown, and
preference should be on casting the "unknown" value to a target type.
### To Reproduce
```
DataFusion CLI v46.0.0
> create table t1 as (values (1), (2), (3));
0 row(s) fetched.
Elapsed 0.026 seconds.
> select * from t1 where column1 < '10';
+---------+
| column1 |
+---------+
| 1 |
+---------+
1 row(s) fetched.
Elapsed 0.015 seconds.
> select * from t1 where column1 < 'hello';
+---------+
| column1 |
+---------+
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
+---------+
3 row(s) fetched.
Elapsed 0.007 seconds.
> select arrow_typeof(column1) from t1 limit 1;
+--------------------------+
| arrow_typeof(t1.column1) |
+--------------------------+
| Int64 |
+--------------------------+
1 row(s) fetched.
Elapsed 0.010 seconds.
> explain select * from t1 where column1 < '10';
+---------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| plan_type | plan |
+---------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| logical_plan | Filter: CAST(t1.column1 AS Utf8) < Utf8("10") |
| | TableScan: t1 projection=[column1] |
| physical_plan | CoalesceBatchesExec: target_batch_size=8192 |
| | FilterExec: CAST(column1@0 AS Utf8) < 10 |
| | DataSourceExec: partitions=1, partition_sizes=[1] |
| | |
+---------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
2 row(s) fetched.
Elapsed 0.009 seconds.
```
### Expected behavior
`column1` not to be cast to a string.
