>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.3, 3.0.0
>            Reporter: Anton Okolnychyi

> The logic in {{Cast$mayTruncate}} is broken for bytes.
> Right now, {{mayTruncate(ByteType, LongType)}} returns {{false}} while {{mayTruncate(ShortType, LongType)}} returns {{true}}. Consequently, {{spark.range(1, 3).as[Byte]}} and {{spark.range(1, 3).as[Short]}} will behave differently.
> Potentially, this bug can silently corrupt someone's data.
