Re: UDF for lateral views

No, this isn't supported from a UDF. You're looking for PHOENIX-4311 to be
implemented. Let's continue the discussion there.

Re: UDF for lateral views

[Krishna]

According to this blog (
http://phoenix-hbase.blogspot.in/2013/04/how-to-add-your-own-built-in-function.html),
evaluate(...) is responsible for processing the input state of the row and
filling up ImmutableBytesWritable pointer with transformed row.
Did not find any references that'll support returning multiple rows for
each input row. Does anyone know if UDF framework can support that?
