Hi there, I'm trying to pass some external properties to a UDF. In the MapReduce world I'm used to extending Configured in my classes, but in my UDF class when initializing a new Configuration object or HiveConf object it doesn't inherit any of those properties. I see it in the Job Configuration XML when the job runs but my UDF can't pick it up when it creates a new instance.
Are there any other suggested ways of doing this? I could probably just add some conf file to distributed cache and load the properties on UDF initialization, but I figured I could get at the configuration through other means. Thanks in advance, Jon
