HyukjinKwon commented on issue #23485: [SPARK-26334][SQL] NullPointerException 
in CallMethodViaReflection when we apply reflect function for empty field
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23485#issuecomment-451881657
 
 
   As I said in the JIRA, the method itself already throws an NPE:
   
   ```
   scala> java.net.URLDecoder.decode(null, "UTF-8")
   java.lang.NullPointerException
     at java.net.URLDecoder.decode(URLDecoder.java:136)
     ... 29 elided
   ```
   
   So, the exception is delegated from its original method, which pretty makes 
sense. Looks Hive is tolerant for the exceptions thrown from the method but 
Spark doesn't necessarily follow Hive. Let's don't fix it.
