> One more conceptual aspect I am wondering: compute functions on tables that basically just apply the function on each column (like take, but also if eg support for Table would be added to the sum registered function), wouldn't that start to be part of the (higher level) execution plan? Perhaps, but it's not mutually exclusive. Some applications will just want to do `CallFunction(name, args)` while others might build an expression pipeline with multiple functions and then request that it be evaluated (once we have this capability, which will be relatively soon) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
