Csaba Ringhofer updated IMPALA-9576:
------------------------------------
Summary: Add built-in functions for BINARY columns (was: Add built-in
function for BINARY columns)
> Add built-in functions for BINARY columns
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-9576
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9576
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Backend, Frontend
> Reporter: Csaba Ringhofer
> Priority: Major
>
> Hive supports a few built-in functions for BINARY columns according to
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF
> Already supported in Impala for STRING:
> - hex, unhex
> - concat
> - decode, encode
> - substr/substring
> Currently not supported in Impala for STRING:
> - base64, unbase64
> - binary (a special casting syntax just for BINARY)
> - md5, sha, sha1, sha2, crc32
> - aes_encrypt/aes_decrypt
> At the first glance I think that what we should implement in Impala is:
> - all the functions that already work for STRING
> - base64, unbase64 (needed for text files anyway)
> - binary() - may worth adding to get closer to Hive SQL, but can cause
> problems as the name is the same as a keyword
