   > I have a question, why we always follow hive and spark? if we thinks is a 
feature need to support, we can implement it firstly. i think having rich 
functions is better
   
   Because we want to make sure that we have a consistent set of functions 
available, with function names that are consistent. If we pick random function 
names from different tools, that because more problematic. It might be that 
Calcite or any of the other tech solves the same problem but with a different 
function and/or different function signature. That's why we always try to look 
at what others are also doing. Then again, this discussion should have happened 
before a PR was opened. Either in the Jira, or on the Dev mailing list. See
