array_top_n is a SQL function in Presto, vs Velox has a native implementation. Both implementations throw Exception for n < 0, which is consistent. https://github.com/facebookincubator/velox/blob/main/velox/functions/prestosql/ArrayFunctions.h#L755
The issue is mostly because Presto Java doesn't process "try" correctly on SQL functions in general. We should investigate at that broad level. The current fix is incorrect imo.
