java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.GenericUDTF

org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.GenericUDTFStack

public class GenericUDTFStack
extends GenericUDTF

Takes a row of size k of data and splits it into n rows of data. For example, if n is 3 then the rest of the arguments are split in order into 3 rows, each of which has k/3 columns in it (the first emitted row has the first k/3, the second has the second, etc). If n does not divide k then the remaining columns are padded with NULLs.
