    Description

      returns the cube root of a double value
      cbrt(double a) : double

      For example:

      select cbrt(87860583272930481.0);
      OK
      444561.0
      

      I noticed that Math.pow(a, 1.0/3.0) and hive power UDF return 444560.99999999965 for the example above.
      However Math.cbrt returns 444561.0
      This is why we should have hive cbrt function in hive
