   > @comphead Spark uses this function to wrap string fields during 
partitioning; it cannot be called via Spark SQL, but we need this function to 
implement native partition writing.
   
   I see, perhaps we can come up with unit test? 
   
   LLM suggests me something like 
   
   
   ```
   test("SPARK-XXXXX: empty partition values are written as null partitions") {
     withTempDir { dir =>
       val path = dir.getCanonicalPath
   
       Seq(
         (1, ""),
         (2, "a"),
         (3, null.asInstanceOf[String])
       ).toDF("id", "part")
         .write
         .partitionBy("part")
         .parquet(path)
   
       val fs = new Path(path).getFileSystem(spark.sessionState.newHadoopConf())
       val partitions = fs.listStatus(new Path(path))
         .filter(_.isDirectory)
         .map(_.getPath.getName)
         .sorted
   
       assert(partitions.contains("part=a"))
   
       // Empty string should not generate a dedicated partition directory.
       assert(!partitions.contains("part="))
   
       // Empty string and null should both map to the default partition.
       assert(partitions.count(_.startsWith("part=__HIVE_DEFAULT_PARTITION__")) 
== 1)
   
       checkAnswer(
         spark.read.parquet(path).groupBy("part").count(),
         Row(null, 2) :: Row("a", 1) :: Nil
       )
     }
   }
   ```
   
   Without unit test it would be pretty complicated  to ensure no regressions 
happened
