-------------------------------------------------------------
Hi [~twalthr], I got two questions during the implementation.
1. Why {{org.apache.flink.table.api.TableEnvironment}} only exposes a
{{registerFunction()}} method for {{ScalarFunction}}?
2. Shall we add a hierarchy depth restriction for the parameters of a UDF
constructor?

> Key: FLINK-8863
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8863
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Assignee: Xingcan Cui
> Priority: Major
>
> This issue is a subtask of part two "Full Embedded SQL Client" of the
> implementation plan mentioned in
> [FLIP-24|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-24+-+SQL+Client].
> It should be possible to declare user-defined functions in the SQL client.
> For now, we limit the registration to classes that implement
> {{ScalarFunction}}, {{TableFunction}}, {{AggregateFunction}}. Functions that
> are implemented in SQL are not part of this issue.
> I would suggest to introduce a {{functions}} top-level property. The
> declaration could look similar to:
> {code}
> functions:
> - name: testFunction
> from: class <-- optional, default: class
> class: org.my.MyScalarFunction
> constructor: <-- optional, needed for
> certain types of functions
> - 42.0
> - class: org.my.Class <-- possibility to create
> objects via properties
> constructor:
> - 1
> - true
> - false
> - "whatever"
> - type: INT
> value: 1
> {code}
