> This issue happens if CBO is disabled.
> We should not be propagating constants if the corresponding
> ExprNodeColumnDesc instance is wrapped inside a CAST operator as casting
> might truncate information from the original column.
> This can happen if we're using CAST in a WHERE clause, which will cause the
> projected columns to be replaced in a SELECT operator. Their new value will
> be the result of casting which could be a different value compared to that in
> the original column:
> {code:java}
> set hive.cbo.enable=false;
> set hive.fetch.task.conversion=more; --just for testing convenience
> create table testtb (id string);
> insert into testtb values('2019-11-05 01:01:11');
> select id, CAST(id AS VARCHAR(10)) from testtb where CAST(id AS VARCHAR(9)) =
> '2019-11-0';
> +------------+------------+
> | id | _c1 |
> +------------+------------+
> | 2019-11-0 | 2019-11-0 |
> +------------+------------+
> 1 row selected (0.168 seconds)
> -- VS expected: 2019-11-05 01:01:11 | 2019-11-05 {code}
> As to what types of casting (from and where types) cause information loss
> it's hard to properly keep track of, and I don't think it should be taken
> into consideration when deciding whether or not to propagate a constant.
> Rather than adding a big and potentially convoluted and fragile check for
> this, I propose to prevent constant mappings to be spawned out of CASTed
> columns.
