Hi Guys, We have a UDF which extends GenericUDF and does some configuration within the public void configure(MapredContext ctx) method.
MapredContext in configure method gives access to the HiveConfiguration via JobConf, which contains custom attributes of the form xy.abc.something. Reading these values is required for the semantics of the UDF. Everything works fine till Hive 0.13, however with Hive 0.14 (or 1.0) the configure method of the UDF is never called by the runtime and hence the UDF cannot configure itself dynamically. Is this the intended behavior? If so, what is the new way to read configuration of the Map Reduce Job within the UDF? I would be grateful for any help.
