Namit Jain commented on HIVE-691:
---------------------------------
>> I can also add "DESCRIBE FUNCTIONS <regexp>" that show the short
>> descriptions of all functions that match <regexp> if you think it is a good
>> idea?
I don't think it is a good idea. - let us describe one function at a time
> show documentation for user defined functions

> 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.
