Murali Rao updated PIG-4673:
----------------------------
Description:
Lets say we have a string = 'ABCD'. Our objective is to replace A with 1, B
with 2, C with 3 and D with 4 to derive 1234 string.
Using existing REPLACE method
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE('ABCD','1'),'2'),'3'),'4')
With Proposed UDF : REPLACE_MULTI method
General Syntax :
REPLACE_MULTI(String sourceString,[search1#replacement1, ...])
REPLACE_MULTI('abcd',['A'#'1','B'#'2', 'C'#'3', 'D'#'4'])
Advantage :
1. Function calls are reduced.
2. Ease to code and better readable.
Let me know your thoughts/ inputs on having this UDF in Piggy Bank. Will take
this up based on this.
