[SPARK-16714][SPARK-16735][SPARK-16646] array, map, greatest, least's type coercion should handle decimal type ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? `array`, `map`, `greatest`, `least` should not fail if its arguments are decimal types, even if the wider type of these decimal types exceed system limitation and we have to truncate. fix `array` and `map` by using `findWiderCommonType` to get the wider type. fix `greatest` and `least` by add a `findWiderTypeWithoutStringPromotion`, which provides similar semantic of `findWiderCommonType`, but without string promotion. ## How was this patch tested? new tests in `TypeCoersionSuite` You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/cloud-fan/spark bug Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/14439.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #14439 ---- commit 95f0866b9ca82e117b7454a1d72706618f7db4f4 Author: Wenchen Fan <wenc...@databricks.com> Date: 2016-08-01T14:23:50Z array, map, greatest, least's type coercion should handle decimal type ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
