Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-5674:
--------------------------------------

[~jackylau], Can you change the summary to something suitable for the release 
notes; that is, start with a capital letter.

[~libenchao]'s question is the key one. What is (and should be) the type of 
{{array[1,null,2]}}?

> cast expr to target type should respect nullable when the type is array

> according the sql standard, cast to type, which can not be nulable and 
> nullable is tabel level attribute which can not changed by cast.
> current the calcite cast will using nullable of expr to replace target type , 
> it is true. but it shoud also set array element type
