Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-7395:
-----------------------------------------

bq. Anyway, others may have diverging opinions and I don't feel extremely strongly about that, just saying that I'm not a fan of adding too much syntax for it.

Consensus: 
{noformat}
CREATE FUNCTION bigint math_sum(a bigint, b bigint) {
    return a + b;
};
{noformat}
would create a UDF in the bundle named "" so a {{SELECT math_sum(col_a, col_b) FROM foo}} would work as well as {{SELECT math::sum(col_a, col_b) FROM foo}} if there is a UDF bundle "math". Not sure, whether the "" bundle handling bites named bundles - but it should not. So users have the option to do it the one or the other way - use unbundled UDFs for simple things and use bundles to group UDFs.

> We have some tickets for various aspects of UDF (CASSANDRA-4914, CASSANDRA-5970, CASSANDRA-4998) but they all suffer from various degrees of ocean-boiling.
> Let's start with something simple: allowing pure user-defined functions in the SELECT clause of a CQL query.  That's it.
> By "pure" I mean, must depend only on the input parameters.  No side effects.  No exposure to C* internals.  Column values in, result out.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function
