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.
