I posted a question few days ago about how to capture current user information in a UDF and the answer basically was to use SessionState.getUserFromAuthenticator().
I am wondering if there is a similar mechanism to obtain query metadata information such as the sql statement or the current database or the tables being referred to in the sql query. Any ideas on how any or all of this information can be captured in a hive UDF. I would appreciate any help. Thanks Adeel
