Jonathan Chang commented on HIVE-2561:
--------------------------------------
A dependency declaration allows the resources to be automatically loaded so the
end user doesn't have to. I don't think this is a niche case; this has come up
a lot and this diff is the result of a brainstorm in response to user
complaints.
> Allow UDFs to specify additional FILE/JAR resources necessary for execution

> Often times UDFs will have dependencies to external JARs/FILEs. It makes
> sense for these to be encoded by the UDF (rather than having the caller
> remember the set of files that need to be ADDed). Let's add an annotation to
> UDFs which will cause these resources to be auto-added.
