Summary: XPath support for namespaces
Key: HIVE-17689
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17689
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Lubos Kulic
Issue HIVE-1027 added UDF for XPath queries. Hoever, it does not support
setting namespaces (as mentioned in [this
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1027?focusedCommentId=12797520&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12797520]
comment).
Unfortunatelly, for real world xml data, it is quite hard to use the feature
without the namespaces. The underlying Java API supports the namespaces, so it
should be quite easy - just to allow some additional parameter for namespace
setting. This is how a similar function on Oracle is working.
