> There is a need for a generic transform that given two Row schemas will
> convert rows between them. There must be a possibility to opt-out from
> certain kind of conversions, for instance, converting ints to shorts can
> cause overflow. Another example, a schema could have a nullable field, but
> never have NULL value in practice, because it was filtered out.
> What is needed:
> - widening values (e.g., int -> long)
> - narrowwing (e.g., int -> short)
> - runtime check for overflow while narrowing
> - ignoring nullability (nullable=true -> nullable=false)
> - weakening nullability (nullable=false -> nullable=true)
> - projection (Schema(a: Int32, b: Int32) -> Schema(a: Int32))
