>                 Key: ARROW-11851
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11851
>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Rust - DataFusion
>            Reporter: Andrew Lamb
>            Priority: Major
>
> As we observed in https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9565#discussion_r586347165 datafusion won't coerce null literals, forcing strange syntax such as:
> ```
> rpad('hi', CAST(NULL AS INT), 'xy')
> We should add automatic coercion logic from the null literal to any type and this expression should work just fine (produce a NULL output)
> ```
> rpad('hi', NULL, 'xy')
> ```
