Tim Armstrong created IMPALA-8405: ------------------------------------- Summary: Document UDA state machine Key: IMPALA-8405 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8405 Project: IMPALA Issue Type: Improvement Components: Docs Reporter: Tim Armstrong
The documentation in "The Underlying Functions for a UDA" doesn't do a good job of explaining the state transitions that a UDA can go through. E.g. when is Serialize() called. It's complicated because data needs to be serialized to go over the network, but *sometimes* is serialized to spill to disk, which changes the sequence of function calls.
