Summary: Add built-in function for BINARY columns Key: IMPALA-9576 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9576 Project: IMPALA Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Csaba Ringhofer Hive supports a few built-in functions for BINARY columns according to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF Already supported in Impala for STRING: - length (the Hive wiki doesn't mention it but it works) - hex, unhex - concat - decode, encode - substr/substring Currently not supported in Impala for STRING: - base64, unbase64 - binary (a special casting syntax just for BINARY) - md5, sha, sha1, sha2, crc32 - aes_encrypt/aes_decrypt At the first glance I think that what we should implement in Impala is: - all the functions that already work for STRING - base64, unbase64 (needed for text files anyway) - binary() - may worth adding to get closer to Hive SQL, but can cause problems as the name is the same as a keyword -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-all-unsubscr...@impala.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-all-h...@impala.apache.org
