>
> When the function registry is trying to determine the best version of UDF
> evaluate() to use based on a set of arguments passed in, it should prefer
> methods where the argument types are more related to the original types. For
> example if varchar is used with UDFFromUnixTime(), varchar is convertible to
> both the double and string versions of evaluate() for that UDF. In this case
> we would prefer that the function registry select the string version over the
> double version, since varchar and string are both string types.
> This doesn't really affect any of the existing types, but comes into play
> with the addition of the varchar type (HIVE-4844).
