> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: UDF
> Reporter: John Sherman

> Labels: pull-request-available

> It would be useful to have a typeof UDF that returns a string describing the
> type of the argument.
> For example:
> SELECT typeof(int_column) FROM made_up_table
> would return:
> int
> This is useful for test purposes and debugging purposes.
