Raghotham Murthy commented on HIVE-645: --------------------------------------- In HIVE-758 we made hbase_put a UDAF. It returns the total number of rows loaded. Does it make sense to have functions that load data into external systems as UDAFs instead of UDFs with LIMIT 1? The disadvantage is the additional reducer. But, I guess if the information returned (like total number of rows) is useful, it might be well worth it and not too much overhead. > A UDF that can export data to JDBC databases. > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-645 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-645 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Contrib > Reporter: Edward Capriolo > Assignee: Edward Capriolo > Priority: Minor > Attachments: hive-645-2.patch, hive-645-3.patch, hive-645-4.patch, > hive-645-5.patch, hive-645.patch > > > A UDF that can export data to JDBC databases. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
