What changes were proposed in this pull request?
We mostly use the
Cast
expression to implement the cast, but we need some custom logic for certain type combinations. We already have special handling forlong/decimal -> timestamp
inVariantGet.cast
, so we should do the same thing inScalarCastHelper
to ensure consistency.ScalarCastHelper
also needs special handling fordecimal -> string
to strip any trailing zeros.Why are the changes needed?
To ensure that cast on shredded variant has the same semantics as cast on unshredded variant.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Unit tests. They would fail without the change.
