>             Project: Hive
>          Issue Type: Improvement

>
> FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: line 4:8 Non Constant Expressions for 
> Array Indexes not Supported dut
> ...just wrote my own UDF to do this, and it is trivial. We should support 
> this natively.
> Let foo have these rows:
> arr           i
> [1,2,3]       1
> [3,4,5]       2
> [5,4,3]       2
> [0,0,1]       0
> Then,
> SELECT arr[i] FROM foo
> should return:
> 2
> 5
> 3
> 1
> Similarly, for the same table,
> SELECT 3 IN arr FROM foo
> should return:
> true
> true
> true
> false
> ...these use cases are needless limitations of functionality. We shouldn't 
> need UDFs to accomplish these goals.
