[SPARK-17884][SQL] To resolve Null pointer exception when casting from empty string to interval type. ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This change adds a check in castToInterval method of Cast expression , such that if converted value is null , then isNull variable should be set to true. Earlier, the expression Cast(Literal(), CalendarIntervalType) was throwing NullPointerException because of the above mentioned reason. ## How was this patch tested?
