-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add typeof UDF
                 Key: HIVE-27563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27563
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: UDF
            Reporter: John Sherman
            Assignee: John Sherman


It would be useful to have a typeof UDF that returns a string describing the 
type of the argument.

For example:

SELECT typeof(int_column) FROM made_up_table
would return:
int

This is useful for test purposes and debugging purposes.
