Abstract

A user-defined function (UDF) is received in a central Computer System, which causes registration of the UDF and distributes the UDF to a cluster of computer system nodes configured for performing, in volatile memory of the nodes, extract-transform-load processing of data cached in the volatile memory of the nodes. First and second job specifications that include the UDF are received by the central Computer System, and the central computer system distributes instructions for the job specifications to the nodes including at least one instruction that invokes the UDF for loading and executing the UDF in the volatile memory of at least one of the nodes during runtime of the jobs. The central Computer System does not cause registration of the UDF again after receiving the first job specification.
