Adam Kramer created HIVE-3490: --------------------------------- Summary: Implement * or a.* for arguments to UDFs Key: HIVE-3490 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3490 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor, UDF Reporter: Adam Kramer
For a random UDF, we should be able to use * or a.* to refer to "all of the columns in their natural order." This is not currently implemented. I'm reporting this as a bug because it is a manner in which Hive is inconsistent with the SQL spec, and because Hive claims to implement *. hive> select all_non_null(a.*) from table a where a.ds='2012-09-01'; FAILED: ParseException line 1:25 mismatched input '*' expecting Identifier near '.' in expression specification -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
