> When Hive provides a list of candidate functions in case of
> UDFArgumentException such as for the following query:
> {code}
> create table tbl (a binary);
> select cast (a as tinyint) from tbl limit 1;
> {code}
> the list is not sorted, so the output is not deterministic. Also, we have
> many test cases depending on the ordering. Thus, it's good to sort the list
> before emitting it.
> This should fixes quite a few test case failures when Hive runs in JDK7.
