Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-7395:
-----------------------------------------

CASSANDRA-7392 describes that it should be possible to interrupt "zombie" 
queries. It might be useful for badly coded UDFs ("sick endless loop" - might 
easily happen during development). But I've no quick idea how to gracefully 
stop a thread that's not in a wait(), sleep() or whatever unless a separate 
thread is used for UDF evaluation which adds at least .5ms latency for each UDF 
call.

> 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.
