> Working with slightly imperfect data is a hassle in drill unless one gives up and stores all data as strings.
> CONVERT_TO and CAST both throw exception if one is trying to convert empty string into numbers. These functions should return null value if the input is essentially a null value (or a pure string representation there off).
