[jira] [Updated] (DRILL-3516) UDF documentation doesn't get people where they need to be

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3516?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jacques Nadeau updated DRILL-3516:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Some users are finding the documentation at http://drill.apache.org/docs/develop-custom-functions/ incomplete.  A pertinent thread:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/drill-user/201507.mbox/%3CCACAwhF%3DBxs-bXNdrm0pNJ4e8hZiaueqtZMhJ%3DRiBpf%3Dt%3DzEOWA%40mail.gmail.com%3E


  was:
The UDF documentation on the web side rooted at http://drill.apache.org/docs/develop-custom-functions/ does not describe the high level process for how UDF's are used, nor does it describe why simple things like toString can't work on *Holder data structures.

This leads to huge confusion and frustration on the part of potentially contributors.

Here are some pertinent threads:
