目前怀疑是scala bug所致，https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/10766
Spark在注册用户的UDF的时候会根据UDF的输入类型和返回类型通过Scala反射的方式映射到Spark SQL内部的类型表示，比如输入类型是Int会得到IntegerType，返回类型是String亦可得到StringType类型。
这个过程通过 localTypeOf[某个类型]和预设的localTypeOf[java.lang.Integer]等的规则匹配判断，而这里用的scala的操作符 <:< 由于https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/10766的bug并不是线程安全的，可能触发这个诡异问题。

udf注册加同步，看看是否能够规避这个问题
