As here: https://github.com/hsuanyi/incubator-drill/blob/DRILL-4372_For_Review/exec/java-exec/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/planner/sql/TypeInferenceUtils.java#L101 If there is no a dummy, this line cannot find a DrillFuncHolder which matches the given SqlOperatorBinding. Their bodies are empty and it is fine because later in DrillOptiq, the functions which will actually be used will be chosen.
