Namit Jain commented on HIVE-691: --------------------------------- We need a couple of follow-ups on this. 1. No need to manually populate the FunctionRegistry - it should be populated from the annotations - this will make sure that a new function which gets added does not miss documentation. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-738 2. Change all tests (udf*) to have a describe function and describe function extended. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-739 3. Generate the wiki automatically from the documentation > show documentation for user defined functions > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-691 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-691 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > Assignee: Emil Ibrishimov > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.4.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-691.1.patch, HIVE-691.2.patch > > > There are lot of functions and more of them will be added. I think it is > cumbersome to update wiki or ask users to go to wiki to find out > documentation. instead each user defined function can have an annotation > containing documentation and 'show functions' command or similar can show the > documentation to users on command line. it will also be easier to update the > documentation along with code. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
