 Review comment:
   ah i see your point. So the order here is not only for how we infer the type 
for a single token, but also how we merge types.
   
   This is super weird, as the order has different meaning according to the 
context:
   1. for single token, the case appears first has higher priority. Here 
timestamp is prefered over date
   2. for type merge, the case appears last has higher priority. Once a type is 
inferred as date, we can't go back to timestamp anymore.
   
   If the specified format of data and timestamp is not compatible, timestamp 
and date type should be incompatible and we should fallback to string.
