-Integration with Hive UDFs/UDAFs/UDTFs
\ No newline at end of file
+### Description
+
+Spark SQL supports integration of Hive UDFs, UDAFs and UDTFs. Similar to Spark 
UDFs and UDAFs, Hive UDFs work on a single row as input and generate a single 
row as output, while Hive UDAFs operate on multiple rows and return a single 
aggregated row as a result. In addition, Hive also supports UDTFs (User Defined 
Tabular Functions) that act on one row as input and return multiple rows as 
output. To use Hive UDFs/UDAFs/UTFs, the user should register them in Spark, 
and then use them in Spark SQL queries.
+
+### Examples
+
+Hive has two UDF interfaces: 
[UDF](https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/udf/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/UDF.java)
 and 
[GenericUDF](https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDF.java).
+An example below uses 
[GenericUDFAbs](https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDFAbs.java)
 derived from `GenericUDF`.
+
+{% highlight sql %}
+-- Register `GenericUDFAbs` and use it in Spark SQL.
+-- Note that, if you use your own programmed one, you need to add a JAR 
containig it
+-- into a classpath,
+-- e.g., ADD JAR yourHiveUDF.jar;
+CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION testUDF AS 
'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.GenericUDFAbs';
+
+SELECT * FROM t;
+  +-----+
+  |value|
+  +-----+
+  | -1.0|
+  |  2.0|
+  | -3.0|
+  +-----+
+
+SELECT testUDF(value) FROM t;
+  +--------------+
+  |testUDF(value)|
+  +--------------+
+  |           1.0|
+  |           2.0|
+  |           3.0|
+  +--------------+
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+
+An example below uses 
[GenericUDTFExplode](https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDTFExplode.java)
 derived from 
[GenericUDTF](https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDF.java).
+
+{% highlight sql %}
+-- Register `GenericUDTFExplode` and use it in Spark SQL
+CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION hiveUDTF
+    AS 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.GenericUDTFExplode';
+
+SELECT * FROM t;
+  +------+

Review comment:
       Ah, I see. Actually, no strong reason. Just for format consistency. 
Before https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/28151, we used the different & 
inconsistent formats cross the SQL documents. So, I put the simple rule to use 
the format in https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/28151. But, If we have a 
better format for the documents, the reformat looks fine.
