Emil Ibrishimov commented on HIVE-691:
--------------------------------------

So, should I leave __FUNC__ in the descriptions?
If yes, why add the name now instead of doing that when we need it (maybe some 
additional requirements will pop up then.. like having something to show if the 
function is an operator or not)

> 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.
