Hey Guys, I have created a custom Hive UDF and have registered it as a permanent function using
CREATE FUNCTION myfunc AS 'com.package.mycustomfunc' USING JAR 'applog-udf.jar', FILE 'distributedcachedir; I want to make use of the same hive udf in pig as per jira PIG-3294 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3294>. I am able to successfully use the udf if I define it using the full class name define myfunc HiveUDF('com.package.mycustomfunc'); My assumption was that custom UDF's can also be defined using the functionName/alias rather than the classname. When I try to do the same I keep getting errors since it cannot resolve the udf name using builtins define myfunc HiveUDF('default.myfunc'); Is this assumption correct or do custom hive udf's need to be referenced via their full class name --Siddhi
