Description

Writing implementations for each possible combination of even most "primitive" CQL types is waste of time and results in unclear code.

E.g. a divide function should accept int, bigint, float, double for the first and second paramter.

Better if UDF implementation can automagically do some up-casting (int to bigint, float to double etc).
