Jacques Nadeau commented on DRILL-2118:
---------------------------------------
-1. This fixes the symptom, not the problem. We should be checking before
trying to cast. The vector copy value methods require that you already check
so the MapUtility should check before copying.
> Improve error message to inform the user if mappify/kvgen fails due to
> ClassCastException

> Currently mappify throws a non-user friendly error message when the input map
> consists of heterogenous value types. The proposal is to improve the error
> message to inform user about the usage and root cause of the failure in a
> non-technical dialect.
