Re: How to use 'CREATE FUNCTION' statements to create parameterize functions?

[Ingo Bürk]

Hi,

SQL only offers DDL to register function classes, not instances. Such
functions must have a default constructor. You can create a class extending
your function and calling the super constructor with the respective
arguments and then use that class through the DDL.

How to use 'CREATE FUNCTION' statements to create parameterize functions?

[1095193...@qq.com]

Hi community,
For parameterize function, like 
public static class SubstringFunction extends ScalarFunction {
 
  private boolean endInclusive;
 
  public SubstringFunction(boolean endInclusive) {
this.endInclusive = endInclusive;
  }
 
  public String eval(String s, Integer begin, Integer end) {
return s.substring(begin, endInclusive ? end + 1 : end);
  }
}
we can register this function by pass function instance instead of function 
classes.
env.createTemporarySystemFunction("SubstringFunction", new 
SubstringFunction(true));
How to register or create this parameterize  function with 'CREATE FUNTION' 
statements.
With standard 'CREATE FUNCTION' statement in Flink doc.[1]
CREATE [TEMPORARY|TEMPORARY SYSTEM] FUNCTION 
  [IF NOT EXISTS] [catalog_name.][db_name.]function_name 
  AS identifier [LANGUAGE JAVA|SCALA|PYTHON]
We can only pass function_name in CREATE FUNCTION statement, is there way to 
pass function_instance ( parameterize function ) in this statement.
