Constance Eustace commented on CASSANDRA-7395:
----------------------------------------------
Will I be able to UDF the ORDER BY ?
My specific case is a sort of union UDT or string with unique sorting
example: cluster column is a UDT, with a UDT field isNum indicating the cluster
value is a number and should be sorted against the other numbers in order in
the results, but if not, all those either go before or after the
numerically-sorted values.
This has come up a few times when trying to smush denormalized SQL schemas into
single rowkey entities.

> We have some tickets for various aspects of UDF (CASSANDRA-4914,
> CASSANDRA-5970, CASSANDRA-4998) but they all suffer from various degrees of
> ocean-boiling.
> Let's start with something simple: allowing pure user-defined functions in
> the SELECT clause of a CQL query. That's it.
> By "pure" I mean, must depend only on the input parameters. No side effects.
> No exposure to C* internals. Column values in, result out.
