### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? I am trying to use `PruningPredicate`s. The expressions require coercion `ExprSimplifier::coerce` before it can be evaluated, so we run [`simplify`, `coerce`, `simplify`, `create_physical_expr`, `PruningPredicate::try_new`]. If the expression being considered (with schema) is: `Col('y', Int32) = Lit(Int64(5))` then the resulting expression will be. ``` BinaryExpr { left: Cast( Cast { expr: Column( Column { relation: None, name: "y", }, ), data_type: Int64, }, ), op: Eq, right: Literal( Int64(5), ), } ``` Then when `PruningPredicate` analysis is run the `LiteralGuarantee::analyze` will not find any `LiteralGuarantee`s and therefore pruning will safely assume that nothing can be pruned. However if the expression is `Col('y', Int32) = Lit(Int32(5))`, no cast will be included and pruning will work as indented. ### Describe the solution you'd like Either: - expand `LiteralGuarantee::analyze` to understand `Cast`ing - extend `ExprSimplifier::coerce` to safely downcast Literals (in `Lit <op> Col`) to the column type if possible `Lit(Int64(2)) -> Lit(Int16(2))`. - or add another pass to downcast all literals (where lossless) so that coercion is applied to the literal and therefore folded into the literal. ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context Relevant issues: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/8302 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
