vincent royer commented on CASSANDRA-13267:
-------------------------------------------
Well, deserializer.toString() returns a string representation that fit my needs
(ByteType = signed decimal integer, BytesType = hexadecimal string), but as
suggested by Sylvain, here is a working proposal to be able to support
pluggable generic CQL functions, only for SELECT statement.
By default, toJson would be the only registered generic function, but anyone
could programmatically registers other generic functions by calling
GenericFunctionRegistry.registerFunction, or implements the
IGenericFunction.Loader to automatically register functions available in the
classpath. This would require to add a file
META-INF/services/org.apache.cassandra.cql3.functions.IGenericFunction$Loader
containing function classes (see java.util.ServiceLoader) and anyone could drop
a jar file in cassandra lib directory to add some CQL generic functions
(including my private weird functions, toString + toJsonArray ;-)).
include unit tests OK, branch available at
