kkhatua opened a new pull request #1483: DRILL-3988: Expose Drill built-in 
functions & UDFs  in a system table
URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1483
 
 
   This commit exposes available SQL functions in Drill and also detects UDFs 
that have been dynamically loaded into Drill. 
   An example is shown below for 2 UDFs dynamically loaded into the cluster, 
along side the existing built-in functions that come with Drill.
   
   ```
   0: jdbc:drill:schema=sys>  select source, count(*) as functionCount from 
sys.functions group by source;
   +-----------------------------------------+----------------+
   |                 source                  | functionCount  |
   +-----------------------------------------+----------------+
   | built-in                                | 2704           |
   | simple-drill-function-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar  | 12             |
   | drill-url-tools-1.0.jar                 | 1              |

   The system table exposes information as shown. Since UDFs are lazily 
initialized (i.e. only when a SQL query needs it), the `returnType` is not 
available and listed as `n/a`.
   Once the UDF is initialized, the `returnType` is also available.
   The `random(FLOAT8-REQUIRED,FLOAT8-REQUIRED)` function is an example of a 
lazily loaded UDF (see `returnType`).
   The `url_parse(VARCHAR-REQUIRED)` function is an example of an initialized 
UDF (see `returnType`).
   Rest are built-in functions that meet the query's filter criteria.
   
   ```
   0: jdbc:drill:schema=sys>select * from sys.functions where name like 
'random' or `name` like '%url%';
