Davies Liu commented on SPARK-8653:
-----------------------------------
[~rxin] With the new `ExpectsInputTypes`, we still need a way to tell how to do
the conversion, it's ugly to do the type switch in eval() or codegen().
Maybe we could improve `AutoCastInputType` to have a method `acceptedTypes`,
which returns a list of list of data types, specify those types could be casted
into expected types. Be default, it will accept all type types which could be
casted to expected types.

> 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`.
