Description

HIVE-5279 added a @Deprecated annotation to the UDAF class. The comment in that class says

UDAF classes are REQUIRED to inherit from this class.

One of these two needs to be updated. Either remove the annotation or document why it was deprecated and what to use instead.

Unfortunately navis did not leave any documentation about his intentions.

I'm happy to provide a patch once I know the intentions.
