Attila Magyar updated HIVE-23295:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
getLiteralList() in SearchArgumentImpl$PredicateLeafImpl returns null if 
dynamic values are not available. There are multiple call sites where the 
return value is used without a null check. E.g:  leaf.getLiteralList().stream().

 

The return null was added as part of HIVE-18827 to avoid having an unimportant 
warning message when dynamic values have not been delivered yet.

 

[~sershe], [~jdere], I propose return an empty list instead of null in a case 
like this.
