Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-1877:
---------------------------------------
It is probably easier work wise for us to simply register the UDF with two
names. This results in less work. I agree that the name could be better in that
regard, but we do not have many UDF's. So you could not convince me because it
is a but trivial, but if you are going to do the work I would not block it.
> Change the name of the reflect() UDF to java_method()

> 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.
