########## sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/expressions/Cast.scala: ########## @@ -133,19 +133,23 @@ object Cast extends QueryErrorsBase { // to convert data of these types to Variant Objects. case (_, VariantType) => variant.VariantGet.checkDataType(from, allowStructsAndMaps = false) + // non-null variants can generate nulls even in ANSI mode case (ArrayType(fromType, fn), ArrayType(toType, tn)) => - canAnsiCast(fromType, toType) && resolvableNullability(fn, tn) + canAnsiCast(fromType, toType) && resolvableNullability(fn || (fromType == VariantType), tn) Review Comment: I don't know if non-null `array<variant>` can cast to null. Yeah, I think resolveNullability is also complete in this case but only the variant case would apply in resolveNullability because every other type that fails in resolveNullability would also fail in canAnsiCast. I'll change it to resolveNullability. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
