Phabricator commented on HIVE-2279: ----------------------------------- cwsteinbach has commented on the revision "HIVE-2279 [jira] Implement sort(array) UDF". INLINE COMMENTS ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDFSortArray.java:47 This should be value="_FUNC_(array)" Otherwise, the output of "describe function sort_array" looks like this: sort_array(sort_array(obj1, obj2,...)) - Sorts the input... ^^^^^^^^ ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDFSortArray.java:51 Please change the example to something simpler that doesn't involve corporate names, e.g. "array(4, 1, 3, 2)" ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/FunctionRegistry.java:449 I think the name should be changed to "sort" and "GenericUDFSort". In the future we may want to extend it so that it can also support sorting the elements in an input string. In a similar manner we may want to implement a "reverse" UDF that reverse the elements of an array as well as the characters in a string. ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDFSortArray.java:74 "Argument 1" instead of "Argument " + 1 + ... ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDFSortArray.java:88 There's a single argument, right?
