Xingcan Cui updated FLINK-12116:
--------------------------------
Description:
In tableAPI, the automatic typecast for arguments may break their initial
structures, which makes {{TreeNode.makeCopy()}} fail.
Take the {{ConcatWs}} function as an example. It requires a string
{{Expression}} sequence for the second parameter of its constructor. If we
provide some {{Expressions}} with other types, the planner will try to cast
them automatically. However, during this process, the arguments will be
incorrectly unwrapped (e.g., {{[f1, f2]}} will be unwrapped to two expressions
{{f1.cast(String)}} and {{f2.cast(String)}}) which will cause
{{java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: wrong number of arguments}} for
{{Constructor.newInstance()}}.
As a workaround, we can cast these arguments manually.
