Phabricator commented on HIVE-4025: ----------------------------------- navis has commented on the revision "HIVE-4025 [jira] Add reflect UDF for member method invocation of column". I've thought the name like "reflect_instance" or something, but found current "reflect" can invoke method of instance also(by calling default constructor of target class). Naming is hard. How about "type_reflect"?
