             Summary: Cannot compare char to varchar
                 Key: IMPALA-11321
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-11321
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Frontend
    Affects Versions: Impala 4.0.0
            Reporter: Michael Smith


Running
{code}
create table varchar_1 (s varchar(1));
create table char_1 (c char(1));
insert into varchar_1 values (cast('a' as varchar(1)));
insert into char_1 values (cast('a' as char(1)));
select * from varchar_1 vc, char_1 ch where vc.s=ch.c;
{code}
results in
{code}
ERROR: SqlCastException: targetType=VARCHAR(*) type=VARCHAR(10)
{code}

Other SQL implementations allow this, and the comparison semantics seem clear.
