John Russell 8377b9949c Global search/replace: audience="Cloudera" -> audience="hidden".
For this change to land in master, the audience="hidden" code review
needs to be completed first. Otherwise, the doc build would still work
but the audience="hidden" content would be visible rather than hidden as
desired.

Some work happening in parallel might introduce additional instances of
audience="Cloudera". I suggest addressing those in a followup CR so this
global change can land quickly.

Since the changes apply across so many different files, but are so
narrow in scope, I suggest that the way to validate (check that no
extraneous changes were introduced accidentally) is to diff just the
changed lines:

git diff -U0 HEAD^ HEAD

In patch set 2, I updated other topics marked audience="Cloudera"
by CRs that were pushed in the meantime.

<indexterm audience="hidden">DROP FUNCTION statement</indexterm>
Removes a user-defined function (UDF), so that it is not available for execution during Impala
<codeph>SELECT</codeph> or <codeph>INSERT</codeph> operations.
</p>
<p conref="../shared/impala_common.xml#common/syntax_blurb"/>
<p>
To drop C++ UDFs and UDAs:
</p>
<codeblock>DROP [AGGREGATE] FUNCTION [IF EXISTS] [<varname>db_name</varname>.]<varname>function_name</varname>(<varname>type</varname>[, <varname>type</varname>...])</codeblock>
<note rev="2.5.0 IMPALA-2843 CDH-39148">
<p rev="2.5.0 IMPALA-2843 CDH-39148">
The preceding syntax, which includes the function signature, also applies to Java UDFs that were created
using the corresponding <codeph>CREATE FUNCTION</codeph> syntax that includes the argument and return types.
After upgrading to <keyword keyref="impala25_full"/> or higher, consider re-creating all Java UDFs with the
<codeph>CREATE FUNCTION</codeph> syntax that does not include the function signature. Java UDFs created this
way are now persisted in the metastore database and do not need to be re-created after an Impala restart.
</p>
</note>
<p rev="2.5.0 IMPALA-2843 CDH-39148">
To drop Java UDFs (created using the <codeph>CREATE FUNCTION</codeph> syntax with no function signature):

Because the same function name could be overloaded with different argument signatures, you specify the
argument types to identify the exact function to drop.

The user ID that the <cmdname>impalad</cmdname> daemon runs under,
typically the <codeph>impala</codeph> user, does not need any
particular HDFS permissions to perform this statement.
All read and write operations are on the metastore database,
not HDFS files and directories.

<p rev="2.5.0 IMPALA-2843 CDH-39148">
The following example shows how to drop Java functions created with the signatureless
<codeph>CREATE FUNCTION</codeph> syntax in <keyword keyref="impala25_full"/> and higher.
Issuing <codeph>DROP FUNCTION <varname>function_name</varname></codeph> removes all the
overloaded functions under that name.
(See <xref href="impala_create_function.xml#create_function"/> for a longer example
showing how to set up such functions in the first place.)
