Custom Hive function is not visible to other Hiveserver2 instances

Environment:

HDP2.6.2-205

Hive (version 2.1.0.2.6.2.0-205)

There are 2 Hiveserver2 instances lab-node101 and lab-node102.

I created a custom function "testdb.user001_udf" on lab-node101:

0: jdbc:hive2://lab-node101.> CREATE FUNCTION testdb.user001_udf AS 'com.dummy.test.user001.CustomUDF' USING JAR 'hdfs://nameservice1/user/user001/custom-udf-1.0.0.jar';

When I connect to different Hiveserver2 instance lab-node102, it doesn't know about the function.

...

It should show functions since metadata is shared between all Hiveserver2 instances lab-node10[1-2].

I confirmed there is function info in metastore DB (MySQL)

MariaDB [metastore]> SELECT * FROM FUNC_RU;
+---------+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------+-------------+
| FUNC_ID | RESOURCE_TYPE | RESOURCE_URI                                           | INTEGER_IDX |

+---------+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------+-------------+
1 rows in set (0.00 sec)


MariaDB [metastore]> SELECT * FROM FUNCS;
+---------+----------------------------------+-------------+-------+--------------+-----------+------------+------------+

+---------+----------------------------------+-------------+-------+--------------+-----------+------------+------------+
1 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Workaround:

I tried creating "testdb.user001_udf" on lab-node102, it got error "Function user001_udf already exists":

0: jdbc:hive2://lab-node102.> CREATE FUNCTION testdb.user001_udf AS 'com.dummy.test.user001.CustomUDF' USING JAR 'hdfs://nameservice1/user/user001/custom-udf-1.0.0.jar';
Getting log thread is interrupted, since query is done!
Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FunctionTask. AlreadyExistsException(message:Function user001_udf already exists) (state=08S01,code=1)
java.sql.SQLException: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FunctionTask. AlreadyExistsException(message:Function user001_udf already exists)

But after that, "user001_udf" became visible on lab-node102:

0: jdbc:hive2://lab-node102.> SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE '*udf';
Getting log thread is interrupted, since query is done!
+----------------------+--+

0: jdbc:hive2://lab-node102.> SELECT testdb.user001_udf(dname) FROM dept;

+--------------------+--+

+--------------------+--+

Is this a bug or configure problem, etc? Does anyone know how about the solution?

Thanks a lot in advance.

BTW, I also did test with Hive version 1.2.1000.2.6.2.0-205, there is no problem to use UDF from other Hiveserver2 instance.

Found solution:

RELOAD FUNCTION;

As the official document explained:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-Create/Drop/Re...
As of HIVE-2573, creating permanent functions in one Hive CLI session may not be reflected in HiveServer2 or other Hive CLI sessions, if they were started before the function was created. Issuing RELOAD FUNCTION within a HiveServer2 or HiveCLI session will allow it to pick up any changes to the permanent functions that may have been done by a different HiveCLI session. Due to backward compatibility reasons RELOAD FUNCTION; is also accepted.
