Paul Yang commented on HIVE-655:
--------------------------------

No, I don't think that will be supported - only SELECT UDTF(col0) as colName...

previousRow & previousTag aren't needed if the only object that should be send 
to Operator.forward() is the output of the UDTF. It was needed for supporting 
SELECT pageid, explode(adid_list).... but I left it in there as I thought it 
might be useful for implementing LATERAL VIEW later.



> Add support for user defined table generating functions

> Provide a way for users to add a table generating function, i.e., functions 
> that generate multiple rows from a single input row. Currently, the only way 
> to do it is via the TRANSFORM clause which requires streaming the data.
