## Bug Report
Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!
### 1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)
I run the following cases, which try to cast the same integer value into a timestamp
```sql
-- 1
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 SMALLINT);
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES (17044);
SELECT TIMESTAMP(c1) FROM t1; -- {2017-04-04 00:00:00}
-- 2
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 INT);
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES (17044);
SELECT TIMESTAMP(c1) FROM t1; -- {2017-04-04 00:00:00}
-- 3
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 BIGINT);
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES (17044);
SELECT TIMESTAMP(c1) FROM t1; -- null
-- 4
SELECT TIMESTAMP(17044); -- null
```
### 2. What did you expect to see? (Required)
I expect these queries should return the same result.
### 3. What did you see instead (Required)
Different query results are returned.
