ATTACHMENT ID: 12612229 > Use new GenericUDF instead of basic UDF for UDFDate* classes > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5731 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5731 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Mohammad Kamrul Islam > Assignee: Mohammad Kamrul Islam > Attachments: HIVE-5731.1.patch, HIVE-5731.2.patch, HIVE-5731.3.patch > > > GenericUDF class is the latest and recommended base class for any UDFs. > This JIRA is to change the current UDFDate* classes extended from GenericUDF. > The general benefit of GenericUDF is described in comments as > "* The GenericUDF are superior to normal UDFs in the following ways: 1. It can > accept arguments of complex types, and return complex types. 2. It can > accept > variable length of arguments. 3. It can accept an infinite number of > function > signature - for example, it's easy to write a GenericUDF that accepts > array<int>, array<array<int>> and so on (arbitrary levels of nesting). 4. > It > can do short-circuit evaluations using DeferedObject." -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
