> but some users do not want the casts introduced by `TypeCoercion` This is very broad statement. I don't like the DataFusion coercion logic per se because it has bugs (eg https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/14273), but seems infeasible to implement a query execution engine with either (a) some coercions or (b) requirement that all arguments are pre-coerced (no-op coercion logic). `TypeCoercion` does the (a), a new IR (https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/12723) would do the (b). But we cannot say "some user's don't want (a) and don't want/have (b)". Saying so turns DataFusion into syntactical bag of functionalities without a governing design or contract. This just doesn't allow future development. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
