I created permanent functions(rather than temp functions) in Hive to use it across different sessions. It all works fine until I actually restart the hive server or cluster for any reason.
So is this the intended functionality of Permanent functions? Here is the hive doc link for Permanent functions. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-Create/Drop/ReloadFunction 1) Placed my utils jar for hive in hdfs location hdfs:///opt/myUtiljars/myUtil.jar 2) Create function schemaName.myFunctName as 'com.myclass.name' using 'hdfs:///opt/myUtiljars/myUtil.jar' 3) Select schemaName.myFunctName() from tableName; This is what I did to create a permanent function through beeline. And this is working fine in other beeline sessions as well. Now after I restart the servers I was able to see the functions name in "show functions;" command but I cannot use this function in any of my queries. When I issue the command in 3) Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException Line 0:-1 Invalid function schemaName.myFunctName ' (state=42000,code=40000) I would like to create Permanent functions as mentioned above and I don't want to deal with them every time I restart. Any corrections(if I am missing anything) or suggestion are greatly appreciated.
