    That's actually my concern, not every developer knows exactly how the 
`foldable` work in Hive UDF, I don't think we need to implement this Hive UDF 
at all. We can just return the `Literal(database, StringType)` in 
`HiveFunctionRegistry.lookupFunction` instead of creating the Hive UDF and 
register it, which seems a hack way to me.
