@FunctionalInterface
public static interface AbstractSegmentMetadataCache.ColumnTypeMergePolicy

ColumnTypeMergePolicy defines the rules of which type to use when faced with the possibility of different types for the same column from segment to segment. It is used to help compute a RowSignature for a table in Druid based on the segment metadata of all segments, merging the types of each column encountered to end up with a single type to represent it globally.
