Hi Lens Developer, I am trying to convert the existing hive queries to Lens cube query and found it is not possible to convert if the hive query uses UDFs or hive-only features. So, I wonder if Lens could support native hive queries, i.e. use can submit hive query in Lens portal, and Lens pass the query to Hive as it is.
The reason I am asking this is because most companies who may use Lens should already have many hive queries in production, and if we could first use Lens to manage all the queries and gradually convert some queries to Lens QL as Lens QL functionalities enhances, then, probably Lens will be used to serve most of the query requests, but Lens will still need to support users' submission of native DB queries at that time since some features is not part of the SQL standard. The philosophy is very similar to why Hibernate support standard SQL.
