Re: Adding functions from extensions

[Dmitry Lychagin]

Xikui, 

Do you mean adding functions to BuiltinFunctions?
BuiltinFunctions.addFunction() is public, so could be called from any of your 
custom initialization code to register new functions there.  

Thanks,

    Hi Devs,

    I'm trying to add some functions from the BAD extension to AsterixDB. I
    found there are two ways of adding runtime entities into the
    FunctionCollection: 1) Adding an IFunctionRegistrant, 2) Implementing an
    extension function manger. However, I didn't find a way to add functions to
    Metadata. I wonder there is an existing method for doing so? I did
    something similar to the IFunctionRegistrant in the
    MetadataBuiltinFunctions on my branch. If we don't have an existing method,
    I can try to create a patch on this.

    Best,
    Xikui
