Zoltan Haindrich updated HIVE-20961:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
Right now we have coalesce and nvl implemented separetly; it might be better to 
remove one of them as they are doing the same. Because Coalesce is in the 
standard -  I think NVL have to go...and became an alias to Coalesce.

Further benefit is: that optimizations which coalesce already recieves; will be 
done on NVL calls as well.
