Paul Yang commented on HIVE-935:
--------------------------------

I recall in our  meeting yesterday that having a GenericUDTF.forward() was 
considered preferable to having GenericUDTF.process() return an array of 
results because there were performance benefits. Namely, the GenericUDTF could 
create a mutable object once, and then call GenericUDTF.forward() multiple 
times on the same object.

However, the following LateralViewJoinOperator will need to hold all the 
objects forwarded by the GenericUDTF for  a given row before it can run the 
crossproduct/join  - which implies that the forwarded objects can't be the same.

Are there other reasons for having a separate GenericUDTF.forward()?
