-------------------------------
Summary: nvl(x, y) throws NPE if type x and type y doesn't match,
rather than throwing the meaningful error

URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11596
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug

{noformat}
create table test(key string);
select nvl(key, true) from test;

The query above will throw NPE rather than the meaningful error "The first and
seconds arguments of function NLV should have the same type".
