   For the `Cast` in optimization stage, it must be resolved and the condition 
of resolved one for timestamp conversion is that timezone information is 
available:
   
   ```scala
   override lazy val resolved: Boolean =
       childrenResolved && checkInputDataTypes().isSuccess && (!needsTimeZone 
|| timeZoneId.isDefined)
   ```
