Github user nagarajanchinnasamy commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/685 @arina-ielchiieva @sudheeshkatkam I have made the following changes to support invocation of UDFs without parenthesis. 1. Introduced `isNiladic` option in FunctionTemplate and added a property in DrillFuncHolder, FunctionAttributes, DrillSqlOperator classes 2. Overridden DrillSqlOperator.getSyntax() to return SqlSyntax.FUNCTION_ID when isNiladic is true 3. Modified all the places to pass false for isNiladic parameter to DrillSqlOperator constructor -- so that existing behavior is not impacted 4. In DrillOperatorTable, adding an operator to operatorList when the syntax of an operator is either FUNCTION or FUNCTION_ID 5. Modified tests to invoke session_id without parenthesis. Please review the changes.
