I have a simple UDF that I added within the HiveCLI. "Create function MyFunction as 'com.mycompany.hive.simpleudf.myparser' using jar 'hdfs://path/to/my.jar';" That works, when I leave the HiveCLI session and open another session MyFunction persists. However, if I use any other tool for example ODBC, or Hue the function does not exist (doesn't show in "Show function;" for Hue or ODBC app). The function does show running "Show function;" in the HiveCLI.
If I run the "Create function..." command in the ODBC or Hue context the function shows up and persists. This seems to boil down to the fact that the Create function only makes the function available for certain contexts? Is this intentional or is this a bug? If this is intended, is there a way to force the create function command to make the function available for all contexts? In all cases I'm creating the function in the same database (default). -Kevin
