There's a JIRA for supporting user defined functions with a few comments here: PHOENIX-538
There's also a middle ground that's possible that wouldn't be full blown UDFs, but would allow you to define new built-in functions in your own jar which would need to be available on the client and server side. You'd need to modify/generalize the way we register and lookup built-in functions through the ExpressionType enum, but other than that, it'd probably be pretty straightforward.
