CREATE BUNDLE Math AS (
  FUNCTION sum(a bigint, b bigint) {
    return a + b;
  }
);

For what it's worth, I'm not against having some concept of name-spacing, but I 
would have a preference for something more implicit/lightweight syntax wise. 
Frankly, I would  be fine with not having any concept at all and letting people 
namespace themselves by prefixing the function name. Anyway, others may have 
diverging opinions and I don't feel extremely strongly about that, just saying 
that I'm not a fan of adding too much syntax for it.

> We have some tickets for various aspects of UDF (CASSANDRA-4914, 
> CASSANDRA-5970, CASSANDRA-4998) but they all suffer from various degrees of 
> ocean-boiling.
> Let's start with something simple: allowing pure user-defined functions in 
> the SELECT clause of a CQL query.  That's it.
> By "pure" I mean, must depend only on the input parameters.  No side effects. 
>  No exposure to C* internals.  Column values in, result out.
