Kevin Zhang updated SPARK-23498:
--------------------------------
Description:
While comparing a string column with integer value, spark sql will
automatically cast the string operant to int, the following sql will return
true in hive but false in spark
{code:java}
select '1000.1'>1000
{code}
from the physical plan we can see the string operant was cast to int which
caused the accuracy loss
{code:java}
*Project [false AS (CAST(1000.1 AS INT) > 1000)#4]
+- Scan OneRowRelation[]
{code}
To solve it, using a wider common type like double to cast both sides of
operant of a binary operator may be safe.

Similar to SPARK-22469, I think it's safe to use double a common type to cast
both side of operants to.
