Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-38176:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Apache Spark (was: Gengliang Wang)
> ANSI mode: allow implicitly casting String to other simple types
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-38176
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-38176
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Gengliang Wang
> Assignee: Apache Spark
> Priority: Major
>
> Compared to the default behavior, the current ANSI type coercion rules don't
> allow the following cases:
> * comparing String with other simple types, e.g. date/timestamp/int ...
> * arithmetic op with String and other simple types
> * Union/Intersect/Except with String and other simple types
> * SQL function expects non-string types but got string input
> * other SQL operators..
> The original purpose is to prevent potential String parsing errors under ANSI
> mode. However, after doing research among real-world Spark SQL queries, I
> find that many users are actually using String as Date/Timestamp/Numeric in
> their queries.
>
> To make the migration to ANSI mode easier, I suggest removing this
> limitation.
