Swarnim Kulkarni commented on HIVE-6331:
----------------------------------------
Can we not remove the statement "UDAF classes are REQUIRED to inherit from this
class." completely. IMHO, the statement "Base class for all User-defined
Aggregation Function (UDAF) classes." is good enough indication that new UDAFs
are required to inherit from this class. The previous statement with the
deprecation statement makes things a little confusing.
> HIVE-5279 deprecated UDAF class without explanation/documentation/alternative

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Lars Francke
> Assignee: Lars Francke
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: HIVE-5279.1.patch, HIVE-6331.2.patch
>
>
> HIVE-5279 added a @Deprecated annotation to the {{UDAF}} class. The comment
> in that class says {quote}UDAF classes are REQUIRED to inherit from this
> class.{quote}
> One of these two needs to be updated. Either remove the annotation or
> document why it was deprecated and what to use instead.
> Unfortunately [~navis] did not leave any documentation about his intentions.
> I'm happy to provide a patch once I know the intentions.
