        public Optional<List<DataType>> inferInputTypes​(CallContext callContext,
                                                        boolean throwOnFailure)
        Description copied from interface: InputTypeStrategy
        Main logic for inferring and validating the input arguments. Returns a list of argument data types that are valid for the given call. If the returned types differ from CallContext.getArgumentDataTypes(), a casting operation can be inserted. An empty result means that the given input is invalid.
        Specified by:
        inferInputTypes in interface InputTypeStrategy
        Parameters:
        callContext - provides details about the function call
        throwOnFailure - whether this function is allowed to throw an ValidationException with a meaningful exception in case the inference is not successful or if this function should simply return an empty result.
        Returns:
        three-state result for either "true, same data types as arguments", "true, but arguments must be casted to returned data types", or "false, no inferred data types could be found"
