Hi experts, I heard that if I want to use Hive UDFs, I must deploy the jars to all the machines that are running Hive (which is painful to me..) After reading this<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HivePlugins> I didn't find any document talking about this - could someone help to answer the following questions:
1. Do I really need to do so(deploy UDF jars to all the machines and then use it)? 2. Is there a possibility that I could use other language (rather than java) to write those UDFs? Thanks! Xiaoyong
