             Summary: Improve the implicit type conversion between numeric type 
and string to avoid precesion loss
                 Key: SPARK-19415
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19415
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Davies Liu


Currently, Spark SQL will convert both numeric type and string into DoubleType, 
if the two children of a expression does not match (for example, comparing a 
LongType again StringType), this will cause precision loss in some cases.

Some database does better job one this (for example, SQL Server [1]), we should 
follow that.
