Hi, Is there any way I can pass a reference to a full table (for e.g. coming from a select clause or a lateral view) as one of the parameters to a hive UDF? And if so, would it be possible to access *all rows* of the table inside the Hive UDF? for e.g. some_func(foo.bar, foo) where foo is a table.
I am very new to Hive and would really appreciate any pointers. Thanks Pradipto -- Pradipto Das PhD Student Computer Science SUNY Buffalo www.buffalo.edu/~pdas3
