Jason Dere commented on HIVE-6167: ---------------------------------- I could get on board with that approach. Xuefu, does that work for you? > Allow user-defined functions to be qualified with database name > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6167 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6167 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: UDF > Reporter: Jason Dere > Assignee: Jason Dere > > Function names in Hive are currently unqualified and there is a single > namespace for all function names. This task would allow users to define > temporary UDFs (and eventually permanent UDFs) with a database name, such as: > CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION userdb.myfunc 'myudfclass'; -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
