[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8053) Support for user defined aggregate functions

["Sylvain Lebresne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8053?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14160225#comment-14160225 ] 

Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-8053:
---------------------------------------------

As discussed in CASSANDRA-4914 (and with a few others), we should go with the same approach than prostgres, that is what described at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-createaggregate.html. In fact, reading that document, I don't seen a good for not going for exactly the same syntax and behavior (minus a couple stuff that we don't need to support, at least not initially, like the {{SORTOP}}). An aggregate would thus just be built from existing "scalar" functions and there is no specific questions about "UDF" flavors to consider.

> CASSANDRA-4914 introduces aggregate functions.
> This ticket is about to decide how we can support "user defined aggregate functions". UD aggregate functions should be supported for all UDF flavors (class, java, jsr223).
> Things to consider:
> * Special implementations for each scripting language should be omitted
> * No exposure of internal APIs (e.g. {{AggregateFunction}} interface)
> * No need for users to deal with serializers / codecs
