Caizhi Weng commented on FLINK-24586:
-------------------------------------
Hi [~airblader] [~liliwei]. I see that {{JSON_VALUE}} is in the list, however
in {{JsonFunctionsITcase#jsonValueSpec}} the expected return type for
{{JSON_VALUE}} is still varchar(2000). Is this intended or shall we also change
this?
> SQL functions should return STRING instead of VARCHAR(2000)

> There are some SQL functions which currently return VARCHAR(2000). With more
> strict CAST behavior from FLINK-24413, this could become an issue.
> The following functions return VARCHAR(2000) and should be changed to return
> STRING instead:
> * JSON_VALUE
> * JSON_QUERY
> * JSON_OBJECT
> * JSON_ARRAY
> There are also some more functions which should be evaluated:
> * CHR
> * REVERSE
> * SPLIT_INDEX
> * PARSE_URL
> * FROM_UNIXTIME
> * DECODE
