[jira] [Commented] (DATAFU-87) Edit distance

["Eyal Allweil (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-87?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16197120#comment-16197120 ] 

Eyal Allweil commented on DATAFU-87:
------------------------------------

On second thought, since this UDF is now available in Hive, and since Levenshtein distance is a purely local computation, I'm guessing there's no need for a specific DataFu implementation. Shall we close this issue?

Here are some links to the Hive UDF.
