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.

3. Generate the wiki automatically from the documentation

> show documentation for user defined functions

> 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.
