Jonathan Chang commented on HIVE-2470:
--------------------------------------
Reflection is a good example (and is actually the motivation for this diff in
the first place). For example, if you have a function which evaluates an
another function, say EVAL('NUMBER_ROWS'), it won't be known until initialize
time whether EVAL is deterministic.

> ConstantObjectInspectors are nice but they need to be more widely supported
> and used. In particular,
> * More functions need to be using them.
> * There need to be facilities for propagating constness.
> * Support for complex types must be added.
