Yuzhao Chen updated CALCITE-2302:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Now many DBs have support implicit type cast, eg: SqlServer, Oracle, Hive.

Implicit type cast is an useful function for many cases, So we should support 
this.

I checkout Calcite code and found that:
# Now we use a validator to validate our operands types[ through kinds of 
namespaces and scopes ]
# Most of the validations will finally goes to 
{code:java}
SqlOperator.validateOperands
{code}
# which will use validation logic defined in corresponding SqlOperandTypeChecker

What i'm confused about is where should i put the implicit type cast logic in? 
I figured out 2 ways:
# Supply a tool class/rules to add casts into a parsed SqlNode tree which will 
then go through the validation logic later on.
# Unleash the validation logic in kinds of SqlOperandTypeChecker, then modify 
the RelNode/RexNodes tree  converted from a validated SqlNode tree to add in 
casts through custom RelOptRules.

So guys, i need your help, which of the 2 ways should i go, or if there are 
better way to do this?
