Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1877: -------------------------------------- +1. Will commit if tests pass. > Add java_method() as a synonym for the reflect() UDF > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1877 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1877 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: UDF > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > Assignee: Zhenxiao Luo > Attachments: HIVE-1877.1.patch.txt, HIVE-1877.2.patch.txt, > HIVE-1877.3.patch.txt > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
