Hi all,

I am trying to write a UDAF function. I found an example that shows how to 
implement a UDAF in "Hadoop The Definitive Guide" book. However I am little 
confused. In the book, the author extends UDAF class and implements init, 
iterate, terminatePartial,  merge and terminate function. However looking at 
the hive docs 
(http://hive.apache.org/docs/r0.11.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/UDAF.html),
 it seems I need to implement init, aggregate, evaluatePartial, 
aggregatePartial and evaluate function. Please let me know what are the write 
functions to implement.
