Review comment:
       it does work - but there are some interesting findings:
   
   both of the following cases change the "non-used" part of the union (note: 
`create_union(idx,o0,o1)` creates a union which uses the `idx`-th object)
   ```
   SELECT (NULLIF(create_union(0,1,2),create_union(0,1,3)) is not null);
   false
   SELECT (NULLIF(create_union(0,1,2),create_union(1,2,1)) is not null);
   true
   ```
   it seems like the comparision ignores the unused/dormant parts which could 
be ok; but it seems like it also compares the `idx` field - I think it should 
either also ignore the `idx` field or also consider the dormant objects
   
   opened HIVE-25748 to look into this
