语法

{ DESC | DESCRIBE } FUNCTION [ EXTENDED ] function_name

参数

  • function_name

    元存储中现有函数的名称。 可选择使用架构名称来限定函数名称。 如果 function_name 使用架构进行限定,则从用户指定的架构解析该函数,否则从当前架构解析该函数。

> DESCRIBE FUNCTION EXTENDED explode;
 Function: explode
 Class: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.Explode
 Usage: explode(expr) - Separates the elements of array `expr`
  into multiple rows, or the elements of map `expr` into
