Is it reasonable to say that we strongly encourage unit testing but we'd like
to see at least one end to end test?

^ that has always been the case.
I am ok with moving to a simpler/faster/east to test style. But asserting on
evaluate() really does not cover everything (because of the state). Neither
does select udf(x) from src limit 1 (bugs from multiple rows). I think we need
to be simulating from the standpoint of an operator interacting with the UDF
normally. It would not be full end-to-end but more then just cherry picking
execution points and validating results.

> HIVE-2380 introduced binary data type in Hive. It will be good to have
> following udfs to make it more useful:
> * UDF's to convert to/from hex string
> * UDF's to convert to/from string using a specific encoding
> * UDF's to convert to/from base64 string
> * UDF's to convert to/from non-string types using a particular serde
