Andrew T. Fiore commented on HIVE-2561: --------------------------------------- I like the idea of using an annotation to load or require files, but it would be awesome if there were a way to bundle or package dependency files and store them in a consistent but reconfigurable location. That way we could avoid specifying them with (potentially brittle) absolute paths in the UDF source files. > Add an annotation to UDFs to allow them to specify additional FILE/JAR > resources necessary for execution > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2561 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2561 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jonathan Chang > Assignee: Jonathan Chang > > Often times UDFs will have dependencies to external JARs/FILEs. It makes > sense for these to be encoded by the UDF (rather than having the caller > remember the set of files that need to be ADDed). Let's add an annotation to > UDFs which will cause these resources to be auto-added. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
