---------------------------------
[~ctang.ma], [~mohitsabharwal] and [~ashutoshc] Can you take another look at
the patch? Tried to follow what Postgres and Oracle do and we will now force to
use cast if the types are not in the same type group.
> Union All of different types resolves to incorrect data

> create table src(c1 date, c2 int, c3 double);
> insert into src values ('2016-01-01',5,1.25);
> select * from
> (select c1 from src union all
> select c2 from src union all
> select c3 from src) t;
> It will return NULL for the c1 values. Seems the common data type is resolved
> to the last c3 which is double.
