Title: [SPARK-4676] [SQL] JavaSchemaRDD.schema may throw NullType MatchError if sql has null

val jsc = new org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaSparkContext(sc)
val jhc = new org.apache.spark.sql.hive.api.java.JavaHiveContext(jsc)
val nrdd = jhc.hql("select null from spark_test.for_test")
println(nrdd.schema)
Then the error is thrown as follows:
scala.MatchError: NullType (of class org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.types.NullType$)
at org.apache.spark.sql.types.util.DataTypeConversions$.asJavaDataType(DataTypeConversions.scala:43)
