Andrew Lamb updated ARROW-12319:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
When you try and run a query such as

{code}
select AVG(ts_colum) from t;
{code}

where ts_column has `DataType::Timestamp` type, you get a pretty unintelligible 
error message

"Coercion from [Timestamp(Nanosecond, None)] to the signature Uniform(1, [Int8, 
Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Float32, Float64]) failed."

This error should be improved to say something more like "AVG is not supported 
for {datatype} try an explicit cast."
