- Functions like current_time/current_date already function like niladic as
Calcite recognizes them so.
- IsNiladic flag can be set by any UDF. Not restricted only to session_I'd
- If I understand right, currently there is no categorization of UDFs in
Drill. If we want to restrict isNiladic flag only to a particular category of
UDFs, then categorization of UDFs need to be designed n implemented.
