Hive 4.0 provides adding ESRI-based standard geospatial data directly into hive tables. These UDFs are autogenerated by Hive. 

ESRI UDF's is The ESRI UDFs constitute an extensive list. In , and it's important to note that the Hive documentation we do not replicate all does not duplicate the entirety of the function documentation. On this linkHere, you can find ESRI UDFs documentation.

Creating Custom UDF's

Apache Hive has rich offers a wide range of built-in User-Defined Functions (UDFs, but still, if you need something special that ). However, for specific requirements not covered by the built-in functions did not cover you can write your own. Just a small Java knowledge is needed to write a custom UDF., users can develop their own custom UDFs with just a basic understanding of Java.

Custom UDFs in Hive are categorized into three types based UDFs can be divided into three types depending on the number of input rows and the number of output rows returned. Each type of these UDFs needs to derive (implement) UDF corresponds to a different interface that needs to be implemented.
