a10y opened a new issue, #18957:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/18957

   ### Describe the bug
   
   If we try and rewrite an expression that operates over a struct column, 
currently the DefaultPhysicalExprRewriter will fail b/c the arrow cast kernel 
uses an overly strict check for Struct castability, namely that the two structs 
have identical types. 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/769f36732a284cec3d549bfcda50cb67684fb5dc/datafusion/physical-expr-adapter/src/schema_rewriter.rs#L416-L417
   
   However, the DefaultSchemaAdapter does the right thing here, checking for 
backward-compatible schema compatibility using the `can_cast_field` function 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/769f36732a284cec3d549bfcda50cb67684fb5dc/datafusion/datasource/src/schema_adapter.rs#L260-L264
