> Now that we have separate types, we can use the type to carry that information, so that you can promote a `long` to `timestamp_ms` or `timestamp` and we know how to interpret the value. That's true as long as there is only type promotion only once. What should happen when `timestamp_ms` is promoted to `timestamp`? If it wasn't a `long` before, such promotion should be permitted. If it was a `long` before... how do we handle this case? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
