Looking good. Most comments about comments.

http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/5161/10/be/src/exprs/agg-fn-evaluator.cc
File be/src/exprs/agg-fn-evaluator.cc:

PS10, Line 539:     // The last (in/out) argument is exposed to UDAs via the 
FunctionContext as the
              :     // return type, rather than as the last argument type. 
Constant inlining must
              :     // therefore expose it in the same way.
May help to add a remark in aggregate-functions-ir.cc about the assumption that 
the type of the last argument (the intermediate value) is treated as return 
type instead of argument type from the perspective of Expr::InlineConstants(). 
Otherwise, this can easily lead to confusion when writing built-in UDA. I think 
all use cases of Expr::InlineConstants() for built-in UDAs now are for 
substituting the arguments' types.

On the other hand, if we don't consider the last argument as the return value 
but instead as a value which will be updated by the UDA, these logic can be 
hidden inside ScalarFnCall::GetUdf(). Not sure if we are getting much by using 
the current convention in the patch.

PS10, Line 53: or HDFS
or external module ?


PS10, Line 54:  UDF
It could also be the update/merge function of a UDA, right ? Not sure if it 
makes sense to call it a UDF in that case.


PS10, Line 61:  
nit: extra blank space.

File be/src/udf/udf-internal.h:

PS10, Line 51: UDAF
May be less confusing to say "UDA functions"


PS10, Line 52: an Expr node
             : /// generated by the Impala frontend
May be it helps to differentiate the ExprNode in the FE and BE b stating:

"TExprNode generated by the Impala frontend"


PS10, Line 54:  Backend code should not create FunctionContexts for other
             : /// purposes
FunctionContexts should entirely be allocated and managed by ExprContext. Exprs 
shouldn't try to create FunctionContext themselves.
