--------------------------------------------
Summary: provide an easy way to package and add functions
Key: ASTERIXDB-1603
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-1603
Project: Apache AsterixDB
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Abdullah Alamoudi
Assignee: Till
Currently, there are two ways to add functions.
1) Through installation of external libraries.
2) Through extension implementations.
Both ways are not hassle free. In particular, adding functions through
extensions requires the extension implementation to add the function to the
right sets. There are two problems with this approach.
1. Each extension implementer needs to know about the different sets of
functions and add the function accordingly. Duplicated effort and error prone.
2. If such sets change, all extensions need to be updated. We need to provide
API calls for this task and keep the implementation in the asterixdb core.
