----------------------------------------------
Hello Harish, have you already implemented this UDF? Could you please provide
patch?
> Introduce Collect_Map UDAF

> Key: HIVE-4966

> Similar to Collect_Set. For e.g. on a Txn table
> {noformat}
> Txn(customer, product, amt)
> select customer, collect_map(product, amt)
> from txn
> group by customer
> {noformat}
> Would give you an activity map for each customer.
> Other thoughts:
> - have explode do the inverse on maps just as it does for sets today.
> - introduce a table function that outputs each value as a column. So in the
> e.g. above you get an activity matrix instead of a map.
