URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/14380

   ### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
   
   When building a query plan `union()` behavior doesn't type-coerce the 
expressions and it [takes the left node's 
schema](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/4fd460d7a2d2b60e6f9dc716148d8596d94d048c/datafusion/expr/src/logical_plan/builder.rs#L1346-L1352).
   This creates an invalid plan which later needs to be fixed. It would be 
better to create a valid plan from the start.
   
   Note: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/14356 moves the code around, 
but doesn't change the behavior. See 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/14356#discussion_r1936081492
   
   ### Describe the solution you'd like
   
   Create correctly coerced plan if possible
   
   ### Describe alternatives you've considered
   
   Keep creating incorrect plan. Rely on some later logic to fix it some time 
later.
   
   
   ### Additional context
   
   - https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/14363 talks about similar 
problem, but for JOIN. It's better to be able to create a valid plan.
