double	months_between(date1, date2)	Returns number of months between dates date1 and date2 (as of Hive 1.2.0). If date1 is later than date2, then the result is positive. If date1 is earlier than date2, then the result is negative. If date1 and date2 are either the same days of the month or both last days of months, then the result is always an integer. Otherwise the UDF calculates the fractional portion of the result based on a 31-day month and considers the difference in time components date1 and date2. date1 and date2 type can be date, timestamp or string in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd' or 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'. The result is rounded to 8 decimal places. Example: months_between('1997-02-28 10:30:00', '1996-10-30') = 3.94959677 返回date1与date2之间相差的月份，如date1>date2，则返回正，如果date1

Supported formats are Java SimpleDateFormat formats –https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html. The second argument fmt should be constant. Example: date_format('2015-04-08', 'y') = '2015'. date_format can be used to implement other UDFs, e.g.: dayname(date) is date_format(date, 'EEEE') dayofyear(date) is date_format(date, 'D') 按指定格式返回时间date 如：date_format("2016-06-22","MM-dd")=06-22

Note that some care is necessary in using predefined character classes: using '\s' as the second argument will match the letter s; '\\s' is necessary to match whitespace, etc. The 'index' parameter is the Java regex Matcher group() method index. See docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html for more information on the 'index' or Java regex group() method.. 抽取字符串subject中符合正则表达式pattern的第index个部分的子字符串，注意些预定义字符的使用，如第二个参数如果使用'\s'将被匹配到s,'\\s'才是匹配空格
string	regexp_replace(string INITIAL_STRING, string PATTERN, string REPLACEMENT)	Returns the string resulting from replacing all substrings in INITIAL_STRING that match the java regular expression syntax defined in PATTERN with instances of REPLACEMENT. For example, regexp_replace("foobar", "oo|ar", "") returns 'fb.' Note that some care is necessary in using predefined character classes: using '\s' as the second argument will match the letter s; '\\s' is necessary to match whitespace, etc.. 按照Java正则表达式PATTERN将字符串INTIAL_STRING中符合条件的部分成REPLACEMENT所指定的字符串，如里REPLACEMENT这空的话，抽符合正则的部分将被去掉  如：regexp_replace("foobar", "oo|ar", "") = 'fb.' 注意些预定义字符的使用，如第二个参数如果使用'\s'将被匹配到s,'\\s'才是匹配空格
string	repeat(string str, int n)	Repeats str n times.. 重复输出n次字符串str
string	reverse(string A)	Returns the reversed string.. 反转字符串
string	rpad(string str, int len, string pad)	Returns str, right-padded with pad to a length of len.. 从右边开始对字符串str使用字符串pad填充，最终len长度为止，如果字符串str本身长度比len大的话，将去掉多余的部分
string	rtrim(string A)	Returns the string resulting from trimming spaces from the end(right hand side) of A. For example, rtrim(' foobar ') results in ' foobar'.. 去掉字符串后面出现的空格
array>	sentences(string str, string lang, string locale)	Tokenizes a string of natural language text into words and sentences, where each sentence is broken at the appropriate sentence boundary and returned as an array of words. The 'lang' and 'locale' are optional arguments. For example, sentences('Hello there! How are you?') returns ( ("Hello", "there"), ("How", "are", "you") ).. 字符串str将被转换成单词数组，如：sentences('Hello there! How are you?') =( ("Hello", "there"), ("How", "are", "you") )
string	space(int n)	Returns a string of n spaces.. 返回n个空格
array	split(string str, string pat)	Splits str around pat (pat is a regular expression).. 按照正则表达式pat来分割字符串str,并将分割后的数组字符串的形式返回
map	str_to_map(text[, delimiter1, delimiter2])	Splits text into key-value pairs using two delimiters. Delimiter1 separates text into K-V pairs, and Delimiter2 splits each K-V pair. Default delimiters are ',' for delimiter1 and '=' for delimiter2.. 将字符串str按照指定分隔符转换成Map，第一个参数是需要转换字符串，第二个参数是键值对之间的分隔符，默认为逗号;第三个参数是键值之间的分隔符，默认为"="
string	substr(string|binary A, int start) substring(string|binary A, int start)	Returns the substring or slice of the byte array of A starting from start position till the end of string A. For example, substr('foobar', 4) results in 'bar' (see [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_substr]).. 对于字符串A,从start位置开始截取字符串并返回
string	substr(string|binary A, int start, int len) substring(string|binary A, int start, int len)	Returns the substring or slice of the byte array of A starting from start position with length len. For example, substr('foobar', 4, 1) results in 'b' (see [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_substr]).. 对于二进制/字符串A,从start位置开始截取长度为length的字符串并返回
string	substring_index(string A, string delim, int count)	Returns the substring from string A before count occurrences of the delimiter delim (as of Hive 1.3.0). If count is positive, everything to the left of the final delimiter (counting from the left) is returned. If count is negative, everything to the right of the final delimiter (counting from the right) is returned. Substring_index performs a case-sensitive match when searching for delim. Example: substring_index('www.apache.org', '.', 2) = 'www.apache'.. 截取第count分隔符之前的字符串，如count为正则从左边开始截取，如果为负则从右边开始截取
string	translate(string|char|varchar input, string|char|varchar from, string|char|varchar to)	Translates the input string by replacing the characters present in the from string with the corresponding characters in the to string. This is similar to the translatefunction in PostgreSQL. If any of the parameters to this UDF are NULL, the result is NULL as well. (Available as of Hive 0.10.0, for string types) Char/varchar support added as of Hive 0.14.0.. 将input出现在from中的字符串替换成to中的字符串 如：translate("MOBIN","BIN","M")="MOM"
string	trim(string A)	Returns the string resulting from trimming spaces from both ends of A. For example, trim(' foobar ') results in 'foobar'. 将字符串A前后出现的空格去掉
binary	unbase64(string str)	Converts the argument from a base 64 string to BINARY. (As of Hive 0.12.0.). 将64位的字符串转换二进制值
string	upper(string A) ucase(string A)	Returns the string resulting from converting all characters of A to upper case. For example, upper('fOoBaR') results in 'FOOBAR'.. 将字符串A中的字母转换成大写字母
string	initcap(string A)	Returns string, with the first letter of each word in uppercase, all other letters in lowercase. Words are delimited by whitespace. (As of Hive 1.1.0.). 将字符串A转换第一个字母大写其余字母的字符串
int	levenshtein(string A, string B)	Returns the Levenshtein distance between two strings (as of Hive 1.2.0). For example, levenshtein('kitten', 'sitting') results in 3.. 计算两个字符串之间的差异大小  如：levenshtein('kitten', 'sitting') = 3
string	soundex(string A)	Returns soundex code of the string (as of Hive 1.2.0). For example, soundex('Miller') results in M460.. 将普通字符串转换成soundex字符串
