+##############
+Hive Functions
+##############
+
+Tajo provides a feature to use Hive functions directly without
re-compilation or additional code.
+
+*************
+Configuration
+*************
+
+Only thing to do is registering path to a directory for jar files
containing your hive functions.
+You can do this by set ``tajo.function.hive.code-dir`` in
``tajo-site.xml`` like the following.
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+ <property>
+ <name>tajo.function.hive.code-dir</name>
+ <value>/path/to/hive/function/jar</value>
+ </property>
+
+.. note::
+ The path should be one in local filesystem. HDFS directory is not
supported because of JAVA URI compatability problem.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ The path must point to a directory, not a file. And multiple directory
entries are not allowed.
+ However, it is possible to load multiple jar files.
+
+***************
+Using in detail

+
+=============
+Function Name
+=============
+
+Tajo reads hive functions override ``org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.UDF``
class. Function name is used as specified in
+``@Description`` annotation. If it doesn't exist, Tajo uses full qualified
class name as function name. For example,
+it can be like this : ``select com_example_hive_udf_myupper('abcd')``, so
it is recommended to use Description annotation.
+
+And if some function conflict occurs, it may throw
``AmbiguousFunctionException``. This conflict means about function signature,

Does the 'conflict' mean duplication?
