File fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/catalog/Function.java:

Line 360:       throw new IllegalStateException("Expected function type to be 
either UDA or UDF.");

I believe it makes sense to change the behavior over here for the following 
reasons: Function.toThrift is currently used at 3 other sites where if an 
exception is thrown then:
1. CatalogServiceCatalog:loadFunctionsFromDbParams -> used to load metadata 
from HMS and handles exception for each entry in the HMS. So, if one entry 
fails it wont affect the whole loading process.

2. ImpalaCatalog:addFunction -> used while processing TCatalogUpdateReq. Any 
exception thrown here will be caught in ImpaladCatalog:updateCatalog where it 
is handled for each entry in the TCatalogUpdateReq object. So wont affect the 
entire flow.

3. CatalogOpExecutor:createFunction -> this is used to create a new function 
object while processing a DDL request, so if an exception is thrown here then 
it will fail the request.

Moreover, in first 2 cases if the TFunction object does not have scalar_fn or 
aggregate_fn field set and if we don't throw an exception, a generic Function 
object will be created which will eventually never be used since its neither a 
scalar nor an aggregate function.

For the last case, we are only allowed to create a scalar or aggregate function 
using DDL request, so if these fields are not set then it definitely is a 
problem and we should be throwing an exception
