Min Zhou commented on HIVE-607:
-------------------------------
sorry, some typo
@Namit
I've implemented group_cat() in a rush, and found something difficult to slove:
1. function group_cat() has a internal order by clause, currently, we can't
implement such an aggregation in hive.
2. when the strings will be group concated are too large, in another words, if
data skew appears, there is ofen not enough memory to store such a big result.
> Create statistical UDFs.
