> HIVE-471 added the reflect() UDF which allows people to invoke static Java methods from within HQL
> queries. In my opinion the name is confusing since it describes how the UDF works instead of what
> it does. I propose changing the name of (or providing a synonym for) the UDF to something like
>  'invoke_method' or 'java_method', or something similar. I'm open to suggestions.
