@alamb thank you for looking at this. Avoiding a config flag would be nice. But I'm skeptical of the proposed coercion. If we coerce `binary` to `fixed(N)` when encountering any expression of type: `fixed(N) = binary`, this would be a fallible coercion. While the infallible coercion of `fixed(N)` to `binary` would allow the expression to be evaluated for all values. DataFusion has already chosen this more lenient coercion for lists. The following: ``` select arrow_cast([1], 'FixedSizeList(1, Int64)') = [1, 2]; ``` Evaluates today to `false` instead of giving a coercion error. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
