We have a scenario where we want to make a UDF permanent so that way a query through the HiveODBC driver will be able to access the UDF. I seem to recall that after creating the UDF, you can make it "permanent" by adding it into the Function Registry.
But it seems that I also need to rebuild the hive-exec-*.jar and bundle my UDF within it. Is this actually a necessary step or is it possible to register my UDFs and make them permanent? Thanks! Denny
