    The tests you've added look good. It looks like the reason that you're 
getting issues with the DESC tests is because you're returning the SortOrder of 
the underlying column in the getSortOrder method. Just removing the 
getSortOrder method completely should resolve this.
    
    It looks like the filter tests also won't work. This will be because the 
function instance isn't correctly being deserialized/initialized on the server 
side. Adding in the following method will ensure that the initialization 
happens correctly:
    
        @Override
        public void readFields(DataInput input) throws IOException {
            super.readFields(input);
            init();
        }
    
    I also took a closer look at the actual testing of the string searching 
functionality. It looks to me like this could be a lot more simple, although 
maybe I'm missing something. However, wouldn't it work to just do the following 
in the evaluate method:
    
        @Override
        public boolean evaluate(Tuple tuple, ImmutableBytesWritable ptr) {
    
            if (!getStringExpression().evaluate(tuple, ptr)) {
                return false;
            }
    
            String sourceStr = (String) PVarchar.INSTANCE.toObject(ptr, 
getStringExpression().getSortOrder());
    
            int position = sourceStr.indexOf(strToSearch);
            ptr.set(PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(position));
            return true;
        }
    
    Could you see if that works ok for all test cases, etc? It looks like the 
code in the `searchString` method is doing a lot of unnecessary array copying 
otherwise.
