> 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.
