["Edward Capriolo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1304?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12856638#action_12856638 ] 

Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-1304:
---------------------------------------

Can we work on... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1265..first.

As of now commits on UDF's is a major pain. Two or three times already I had had to regenerate UDFs because someone else touched the FunctionRegistry. I have had two or three waves of UDF's I want to commit ReflectionUDF, MathUDF, EncryptionUDF but something else sneaks in and I have to regenerate. It is a major pain.

> This is a poor man's answer to the standard analytic function row_number(); it assigns a sequence of numbers to rows, starting from 1.
> I'm calling it row_sequence() to distinguish it from the real analytic function, so that once we add support for those, there won't be any conflict with the existing UDF.
> The problem with this UDF approach is that there are no guarantees about ordering in SQL processing internals, so use with caution.
