Description

When query returns zero rows, the HiveUDAFFunction throws NPE

CASE 1:
create table abc(a int)
select histogram_numeric(a,2) from abc // NPE

Job aborted due to stage failure: Task 0 in stage 1.0 failed 1 times, most recent failure: Lost task 0.0 in stage 1.0 (TID 0, localhost, executor driver): java.lang.NullPointerException
