Description

The parser only supports casting primitive data types. Valid queries like these fail:

SELECT CAST (NULL as array<int>);

Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:21 cannot recognize input near 'array' '<' 'int' in primitive type specification (state=42000,code=40000)
