    The syntax closely follows the hive syntax for defining UDFs. Whats 
required is each UDF should map to a unique class with an `evaluate` method. 
Multiple such classes can be in the same jar and added to the classpath. (for 
storm, it could be placed under extlib directory). Will update the docs with 
this info.
    
    Hive has an additional syntax to specify jar file in its DDL syntax which 
is not supported as of now.
