[HIVE-6380] Specify jars/files when creating permanent UDFs

• Type: Sub-task
• Status: Resolved
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Fix Version/s: 0.13.0
• Component/s: UDF

Release Note

This allows the user to specify what jars/files/archives are required for a permanent UDF:

CREATE FUNCTION [db_name.]function_name AS class_name [USING JAR|FILE|ARCHIVE 'file_uri' [, JAR|FILE|ARCHIVE 'file_uri'] ]

When the function is referenced for the first time by a Hive session, these resources will be added to the environment.
