Previously, an implicit cast performed in a set operation, like
UNION
,on a tuple type with an unknown inner type would cause an internal
error. The cast failed because the volatility of a cast from unknown to
unknown was not specified in the
validCasts
list. This commit fixesthe issue by marking a such a cast as immutable.
Fixes #68308
Release note (bug fix): A bug has been fixed that caused internal errors
with set operations, like
UNION
, and columns with tuple types thatcontained constant
NULL
values. This bug was introduced in version20.2.
Release justification: This is a low risk bug fix.
