> Phoenix allows built-in functions to be added (as described
> [here](http://phoenix-hbase.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-add-your-own-built-in-function.html))
> with the restriction that they must be in the phoenix jar. We should improve
> on this and allow folks to declare new functions through a CREATE FUNCTION
> command like this:
> CREATE FUNCTION mdHash(anytype)
> RETURNS binary(16)
> LOCATION 'hdfs://path-to-my-jar' 'com.me.MDHashFunction'
> Since HBase supports loading jars dynamically, this would not be too
> difficult. The function implementation class would be required to extend our
> ScalarFunction base class. Here's how I could see it being implemented:
> * modify the phoenix grammar to support the new CREATE FUNCTION syntax
> * create a new UTFParseNode class to capture the parse state
> * add a new method to the MetaDataProtocol interface
> * add a new method in ConnectionQueryServices to invoke the MetaDataProtocol
> method
> * add a new method in MetaDataClient to invoke the ConnectionQueryServices
> method
> * persist functions in a new "SYSTEM.FUNCTION" table
> * add a new client-side representation to cache functions called PFunction
> * modify ColumnResolver to dynamically resolve a function in the same way we
> dynamically resolve and load a table
> * create and register a new ExpressionType called UDFExpression
> * at parse time, check for the function name in the built in list first (as
> is currently done), and if not found in the PFunction cache. If not found
> there, then use the new UDFExpression as a placeholder and have the
> ColumnResolver attempt to resolve it at compile time and throw an error if
> unsuccessful.
