Review comment:
       I think that would be a good thing for a future improvement. If you see 
the Spark request has some benchmarks and even with wrapping all these 
functions in UDFS and applying them to rows that way, it's still only about 2~3 
x slower than sort with as many expressions. So I think the perf is probably ok 
to start with.
