Eyal Allweil commented on DATAFU-87: ------------------------------------ On second thought, since this UDF is now available in Hive, and since Levenshtein distance is a purely local computation, I'm guessing there's no need for a specific DataFu implementation. Shall we close this issue? Here are some links to the Hive UDF. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9556 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF#LanguageManualUDF-StringFunctions > Edit distance > ------------- > > Key: DATAFU-87 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-87 > Project: DataFu > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Joydeep Banerjee > Attachments: DATAFU-87.patch > > > [This is work-in-progress] > Given 2 strings, provide a measure of dis-similarity (Levenshtein distance) > between them. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
