[jira] [Resolved] (DRILL-3214) Config option to cast empty string to null does not cast empty string to null

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3214?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sean Hsuan-Yi Chu resolved DRILL-3214.
--------------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

As DRILL-3363 suggests, users should have been informed the setting is not accepted.

The current response happening after users typing in "alter session ..." is misleading.
