Need help - How to use Custom java object in Hive UDAF

[Rathish Alikkal Madathil -X (ralikkal - MINDTREE LIMITED at Cisco)]

Hi Team,

I am working on a hive - UDAF function in which I need to return a custom java 
object. Please let me know how can I implement this.
Also please let me know if any additional information required.

Return object :-

MAP < <Text> , <Custom Java Object : Child>  >

Custom Java Object :-

class Child {
private Text chldName;
             private Text mgrName;
             private Text chldId;
             private ArrayList<Child> reportees = new ArrayList<Child>();

             Child(Text id, Text name) {
                    this.chldId = id;
                    this.chldName = name;
             }

             public void setChldName(Text chldName) {
                    this.chldName = chldName;
             }

             void add(Child chld) {
                    if (chld != null && !reportees.contains(chld)) {
                           reportees.add(chld);
                    }
             }

             public ArrayList<Child> getReportees() {
                    return reportees;
             }
}



Thanks,
Rathish A M
