Reynold Xin commented on SPARK-8653:
------------------------------------
I think a better way to do this is to have a trait called ExpectsInputTypes
(and rename the current one, as did in SPARK-8721) with a method that returns
Seq[Any], and each element can be:
1. a specific data type
2. a Seq[DataType]
3. a non-leaf data type, e.g. NumericType
And we can easily have an analysis rule that does the check. This is much
simpler than the version in the pull request.

> Currently, we have trait in Expression like `ExpectsInputTypes` and also the
> `checkInputDataTypes`, but can not convert the children expressions
> automatically, except we write the new rules in the `HiveTypeCoercion`.
