Hello Phil, If executing functions at servers, they need to create instances for function classes. At least, those severs have to be able to load classes for functions to execute actual function logics.
If it's O.K. to manage function jars from client side, why don't you use "gfsh deply" command to register function jars from client side without any configuration for functions at server side - as a result, those function jars are added to server side classpath, automatically and dynamically.
