Hudson commented on HIVE-1877: ------------------------------ Integrated in Hive-trunk-h0.21 #1170 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hive-trunk-h0.21/1170/]) HIVE-1877. Add java_method() as a synonym for the reflect() UDF (Zhenxiao Luo via cws) cws : http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN&view=rev&rev=1224646 Files : * /hive/trunk/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/FunctionRegistry.java * /hive/trunk/ql/src/test/queries/clientpositive/udf_java_method.q * /hive/trunk/ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/show_functions.q.out * /hive/trunk/ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/udf_java_method.q.out * /hive/trunk/ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/udf_reflect.q.out > 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 > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > 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.
