> A nil pointer dereference occurs when a custom aggregate is defined without a FINALFUNC. Cassandra states that the final func is optional, so Gocql should correctly handle such a case.
> Discovered during the implementation of CASSGO-101.
> The root cause is [this piece of code|https://github.com/apache/cassandra-gocql-driver/blob/f1e31a58f7e0c25e58e2e2a0a0c6de358e643e8b/metadata.go#L362], which tries to get function metadata from the Functions map by finalFunc name. As there is no final function for the created aggregate, _AggregateMetadata.finalFunc_ is an empty string. Trying to get the function metadata from _KeyspaceMetadata.Functions_ map by that empty string value result in a return of a nil value, which is being dereferenced after.
