Hi Kathiresan, Thanks for trying the UDFs. bq. 1.Will any function <http://phoenix.apache.org/language/functions.html> (UDF or built-in) in a SELECT be run only on client side in Phoenix? Yes. if we use a function in select clause it will be evaluated at client side.
bq. 2.Is there an option, i can push an UDF in a SELECT query to run on server side? If you use the functions in where clause they will be pushed down to the server and run at server side. That phoenix automatically do it for you. Thanks, Rajeshbabu.
