> The type conversion in current Spark can be improved by learning from PostgreSQL:
> 1. The table insertion should disallow certain type conversions(string -> int), see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b9nnWWbKVDRp7lpzhQS1buv1_lDzWIZY2ApFs5rBcGI/edit#heading=h.82w8qxfl2uwl
> 2. Spark should return null result on cast an out-of-range value to an integral type, instead of returning a value with lower bits.
> 3. We can have a new optional mode: throw runtime exceptions on casting failures
> 4. improve the implicit casting
> etc..
