**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** I am working to expose "selector functions" in IOx, See https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox/pull/5606 https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox/issues/5528 I want to be able to call an aggregate that has different types based on its input arguments. There is sufficient flexibility in the return_type and state type factories, but the accumulator factory is not passed the output type, so I can't figure out any way to instantiate the correct internal implementation. I can't defer the choice until runtime either because if no rows go in, I need to know how to produce the appropriate type of NULL value, which depends on the output type. **Describe the solution you'd like** Pass the return data type as an argument to the accumulator factory, consistent with the state type factory **Describe alternatives you've considered** I tried various ways around this and could not find any :( **Additional context** https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox/pull/5606 https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox/issues/5528 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
