Zheng Shao updated HIVE-1128:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: HIVE-1128.1.sh
                HIVE-1128.1.patch

This patch adds new max/min functions which are capable of dealing with complex types. It also moves the old UDAFMax/UDAFMin into contrib so that people can take these as examples.

Please run "HIVE-1128.1.sh" before applying the patch HIVE-1128.1.patch to make sure we can keep the svn log information for the moved files.

> A lot of users are interested in doing "arg_min" and "arg_max". Basically, return the value of some other columns when one column's value is the max value.
> The following is an example usage when this is done:
> {code}
> SELECT department, max(struct(salary, employee_name))
> FROM compensations;
> {code}
