[jira] [Updated] (FLINK-15546) Obscure error message in ScalarOperatorGens::generateCast

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15546?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Rui Li updated FLINK-15546:
---------------------------
    Description: 
Consider the following case:
{noformat}
Flink SQL> describe foo;
root
 |-- x: ROW<`f1` DOUBLE, `f2` VARCHAR(10)>


Flink SQL> insert into foo select row(1.1,'abc');
[INFO] Submitting SQL update statement to the cluster...
[ERROR] Could not execute SQL statement. Reason:
org.apache.flink.table.planner.codegen.CodeGenException: Unsupported cast from 'ROW' to 'ROW'.
{noformat}

Users are unlikely to figure out what goes wrong from the above error message. Something like {{Unsupported cast from 'ROW<DECIMAL(2,1), CHAR(3)>' to 'ROW<DOUBLE, VARCHAR(10)>'}} will be more helpful.
