Hey all, I've seen this question asked on the mailing list in the past, but not recently. Does anyone know of a way to read data from HDFS within a UDF? I saw some discussion about a year ago that mentioned if a UDF implemented org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configurable it would get a copy of the Configuration object, but either that wasn't implemented, or I'm having troubles with it.
Any thoughts? Thanks! -Mark
