> Hive has added the Esri Hive UDFs as builtin functions in HIVE-26223.
> The original Hive Esri source: 
> https://github.com/Esri/spatial-framework-for-hadoop
> A simple (but inefficient) way to add postgis style geospatial support in 
> Impala is to import these functions through Hive and add them as builtins. 
> This is possible as Impala supports Hive UDFs, but is much slower than a 
> native implementation could be.
> My plan is to add these functions depending on a flag, e.g. uf 
> geospatial_library=hive_esri. This would allow native implementations to be 
> added later and let users choose between Hive compatibility and speed. It 
> could also make sense override only the more critical functions with native 
> ones, but it may turn out that the binary format used in ESRI is suboptimal 
> for a native implementation.
