interface)

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1434
>             Project: Calcite
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Arun Mahadevan
>            Assignee: Julian Hyde
>             Fix For: 1.11.0

>
> We have an interface like below which we want to expose to users for writing 
> aggregate functions.
> {noformat}
> public interface UDAF<A, V, R> {
>     A init();
>     A add(A aggregate, V val);
>     R result(A aggregate);
> }
> {noformat}
> Internally we create an instance of AggregateFunctionImpl and register the 
> Function in SchemaPlus. However this doesn't work for example if we have an 
> implementation like below,
> {noformat}
> public class MySum implements UDAF<Number, Number, Number> {
>     @Override
>     public Number init() {...}
>     @Override
>     public Number add(Number aggregate, Number val) {...}
>     @Override
>     public Number result(Number aggregate) {...}
> }
> {noformat}
> We get an Exception "java.lang.RuntimeException: In user-defined aggregate 
> class 'x.y.z.$MySum', first parameter to 'add' method must be the accumulator 
> (the return type of the 'init' method)"
> This happens because the ReflectiveFunctionBase.findMethod is trying to look 
> for a method name "init" and it get a method with a different signature (that 
> returns Object) instead of the actual method defined in MySum. This happens 
> to be a 'bridge' method inserted by java.
> In findMethod, the bridge methods can be skipped while looking for the method 
> by name.
