opt: cast to identical types for set operations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This change makes the optbuilder more strict when building set
operations. Previously, it could build expressions which have
corresponding left/right types which are `Equivalent()`, but not
`Identical()`. This leads to errors in vectorized execution, when we
e.g. try to union a INT8 with an INT4.

We now make the types on both sides `Identical()`, adding casts as
necessary. We try to do a best-effort attempt to use the larger
numeric type when possible (e.g. int4->int8, int->float, float->decimal).

Fixes cockroachdb#59148.

Release note (bug fix): fixed execution errors for some queries that
use set operations (UNION / EXCEPT / INTERSECT) where a column has
types of different widths on the two sides (e.g. INT4 vs INT8).
