Namit Jain commented on HIVE-707:
---------------------------------

I agree - but I think it can be done in a follow-up jira, since the two are 
kind of independent

> add group_concat

> Moving the discussion to a new jira:
> I've implemented group_cat() in a rush, and found something difficult to 
> slove:
> 1. function group_cat() has a internal order by clause, currently, we can't 
> implement such an aggregation in hive.
> 2. when the strings will be group concated are too large, in another words, 
> if data skew appears, there is often not enough memory to store such a big 
> result.
