That's actually my concern, not every developer knows exactly how the
`foldable` work in Hive UDF, I don't think we need to implement this Hive UDF
at all. We can just return the `Literal(database, StringType)` in
`HiveFunctionRegistry.lookupFunction` instead of creating the Hive UDF and
register it, which seems a hack way to me.
