Class HiveUDF

java.lang.Object

org.apache.pig.EvalFunc<Object>

org.apache.pig.builtin.HiveUDF

public class HiveUDF
extends EvalFunc<Object>

Use Hive UDF or GenericUDF. Example: define sin HiveUDF('sin'); A = load 'mydata' as (num:double); B = foreach A generate sin(num); HiveUDF takes an optional second parameter if the Hive UDF require constant parameters define in_file HiveUDF('in_file', '(null, "names.txt")');

Method Detail

exec

public Object exec(Tuple input)
            throws IOException

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

This callback method must be implemented by all subclasses. This is the method that will be invoked on every Tuple of a given dataset. Since the dataset may be divided up in a variety of ways the programmer should not make assumptions about state that is maintained between invocations of this method.

Specified by:

exec in class EvalFunc<Object>

Parameters:

input - the Tuple to be processed.

Returns:

result, of type T.

Throws:

IOException

getShipFiles

public List<String> getShipFiles()

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

Allow a UDF to specify a list of local files it would like placed in the distributed cache. These files will be put in the cache for every job the UDF is used in. Check for FuncUtils for utility function to facilitate it The default implementation returns null.

Returns:

A list of files

outputSchema

public Schema outputSchema(Schema input)

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

Report the schema of the output of this UDF. Pig will make use of this in error checking, optimization, and planning. The schema of input data to this UDF is provided.

The default implementation interprets the OutputSchema annotation, if one is present. Otherwise, it returns null (no known output schema).

Overrides:

outputSchema in class EvalFunc<Object>

Parameters:

input - Schema of the input

Returns:

Schema of the output

finish

public void finish()

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

Placeholder for cleanup to be performed at the end. User defined functions can override. Default implementation is a no-op.

Overrides:

finish in class EvalFunc<Object>

resolveFunc

protected static Class resolveFunc(String funcName)
                            throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

instantiateMapredContext

protected static org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapredContext instantiateMapredContext()

getErrorMessage

protected static String getErrorMessage(Class c)
