Change the name of the reflect() UDF to java_method()
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1877
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1877
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: UDF
Reporter: Carl Steinbach
HIVE-471 added the reflect() UDF which allows people to invoke static Java
methods from within HQL
queries. In my opinion the name is confusing since it describes how the UDF
works instead of what
it does. I propose changing the name of (or providing a synonym for) the UDF to
something like
'invoke_method' or 'java_method', or something similar. I'm open to
suggestions.
