Change the name of the reflect() UDF to java_method() -----------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1877 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1877 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: UDF Reporter: Carl Steinbach HIVE-471 added the reflect() UDF which allows people to invoke static Java methods from within HQL queries. In my opinion the name is confusing since it describes how the UDF works instead of what it does. I propose changing the name of (or providing a synonym for) the UDF to something like 'invoke_method' or 'java_method', or something similar. I'm open to suggestions. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
