FunctionRegistry should allow loading UDFs and UDAFs from property file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-309
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-309
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Query Processor
Reporter: Richard Lee
FunctionRegistry.java hard code all UDF, UDAF definitions in a static
initializer. There is no way to add new functions without directly modifying
this file.
FunctionRegistry SHOULD look for a property file in which new functions and
their implementations can be specified. This will allow third parties to
extend hive without maintaining patches against the codebase.
