-------------------------------

@Namit
I implemented group_cat() in a rush, and found something difficult slove: 
1. function group_cat() has a internal order by clause, currently, we can't 
such aggregation in hive. 
2. when the string will be group concated is too large, in another is appears 
data skew, there is ofen not  enough memory to store such a big string.

> Create statistical UDFs.
