Khurram Faraaz created DRILL-3214:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Config option to cast empty string to null does not cast empty string to null
                 Key: DRILL-3214
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3214
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Storage - Text & CSV
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
         Environment: faec150598840c40827e6493992d81209aa936da
            Reporter: Khurram Faraaz

Config option drill.exec.functions.cast_empty_string_to_null does not seem to be working as designed.

Disable casting of empty strings to null. 
{code}
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.tmp> alter session set `drill.exec.functions.cast_empty_string_to_null` = false;
+-------+----------------------------------------------------------+
|  ok   |                         summary                          |
+-------+----------------------------------------------------------+
| true  | drill.exec.functions.cast_empty_string_to_null updated.  |
+-------+----------------------------------------------------------+
1 row selected (0.078 seconds)
{code}

In this query we see empty strings are retained in query output in columns[1].

{code}
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.tmp> SELECT columns[0], columns[1], columns[2] from `threeColsDouble.csv`;

Casting empty strings to integer leads to NumberFormatException

{code}
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.tmp> SELECT columns[0], cast(columns[1] as int), columns[2] from `threeColsDouble.csv`;
Error: SYSTEM ERROR: java.lang.NumberFormatException: 

Fragment 0:0

[Error Id: b08f4247-263a-460d-b37b-91a70375f7ba on centos-03.qa.lab:31010] (state=,code=0)
{code}

Enable casting empty string to null.

{code}
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.tmp> alter session set `drill.exec.functions.cast_empty_string_to_null` = true;
+-------+----------------------------------------------------------+
|  ok   |                         summary                          |

Run query

{code}
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.tmp> SELECT columns[0], cast(columns[1] as int), columns[2] from `threeColsDouble.csv`;
Error: SYSTEM ERROR: java.lang.NumberFormatException:

{code}

Note from the output of below query that the empty strings are not casted to null, although drill.exec.functions.cast_empty_string_to_null was set to true.
