Hi All,

By the way, the class loading/unloading issue, while new to us Drillers, is a 
well-known technology in projects such as Tomcat which loads & unloads web 
apps, each with their own class name space (implemented by a class loader.)

To make the dynamic UDF function fully usable, we’d need to solve the class 
name space, function name space, and dynamic class loading issues. Ideally, if 
I create a function “foo” and you create a function “foo”, they don’t conflict 
unless we make them global. We could do “paul_foo” and “zelaine_foo”, but that 
gets kind of awkward.

However, implementing function name spaces and custom class loaders was thought 
to be out of scope for what started as a minor feature, so we looked for 
solutions that work without them. We can squeak by in adding dynamic UDFs 
without (much) class loader work, but I suspect we’d need to go all-in if we 
want to drop and replace functions as well.

As usual, it all comes down to cost. Solutions are available, the question for 
the community is whether we want dynamic add now, or wait for the whole 
enchilada later.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

- Paul
