Description
In ArrayPosition, we currently cast the right hand side expression to match the element type of the left hand side Array. This may result in down casting and may return wrong result or questionable result.
Example :
spark-sql> select array_position(array(1), 1.34);
1
spark-sql> select array_position(array(1), 'foo');
null
We should safely coerce both left and right hand side expressions.
