Inferencing happens only once when Drill receives the very first batches
from left and right. (Schema-change is not yet supported for Union-All).
Let me summarize the inference in four different situations:
First of all, the field names are always determined by the left side (even
when the left side is from empty file, we have the column names. Please see the
comment above.)
1. Left: non-empty; Right: non-empty=> types determined by both sides with
implicit casting involved
2. Left: empty; Right: non-empty=> type from the right
3. Left: non-empty; Right: empty=> types from the left
4. Left: empty; Right: empty=> types are nullable integer
> Enhance Union-All operator for dealing with empty left input or empty both
> inputs

> Union-All operator does not deal with the situation where left side comes
> from empty source.
> Due to DRILL-2288's enhancement for empty sources, Union-All operator now can
> be allowed to support this scenario.
