Isolating the performance of functions included in queries

Abstract:

The performance of functions included in a query may be isolated from the performance of the query. A query may be received and a function within the query may be identified. Execution of the function may be isolated from the performance of the query. In some embodiments, a remote execution engine or service may perform the function in response to a request invoking performance of the function generated as part of executing a query execution plan for the query. Results from the function may be received and a result for the query provided based on the results of the function.
