Hi,
I have a single argument udf that takes the sql string as a argument. Inside the udf, I have used hive jdbc client to execute the query. My query execution part inside udf is working fine and also I am able to get the desired result from the query. My udf is returning a String. I am getting error in returning the result from the evaluate method of a udf.
