Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-691: ------------------------------------ see this example from mysql {code} EXPORT_SET(bits,on,off[,separator[,number_of_bits]]) {code} from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html > show documentation for user defined functions > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-691 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-691 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > Assignee: Emil Ibrishimov > > There are lot of functions and more of them will be added. I think it is > cumbersome to update wiki or ask users to go to wiki to find out > documentation. instead each user defined function can have an annotation > containing documentation and 'show functions' command or similar can show the > documentation to users on command line. it will also be easier to update the > documentation along with code. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
