Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-6100: --------------------------------------- I think Alan and I are speaking of two different things both of which are valid. Form the title of the Jira I was assuming the user meant this. {pre} create table a ( list<int> x , list <int> y) select union (x,y) {pre} But what Alan is discussing is perfectly valid as well. > Introduce basic set operations as UDFs > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6100 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6100 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: UDF > Reporter: Kostiantyn Kudriavtsev > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > > Introduce basic set operations: > 1. Intersection: The intersection of A and B, denoted by A ∩ B, is the set of > all things that are members of both A and B. > select set_intersection(arr_a, arr_b) from dual > 2. Union: The union of A and B, denoted by A ∪ B, is the set of all things > that are members of either A or B. > select set_union(arr_a, arr_b) from dual > 3. Symmetric difference: the symmetric difference of two sets is the set of > elements which are in either of the sets and not in their intersection. > select set_symdiff(arr_a, arr_b) from dual -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
