Is it possible to support any ClickHouse aggregate function in queries?

[azat]

ClickHouse has reach aggregation functions support.

Right now it requires custom parsing, and so we can't use all the power.

Is it a significant amount of work to parse any functions and pass them as-is to ClickHouse?

Functions with a single argument are trivial to support and don't requires changing the parser. Just add your function here and send a PR.

For functions with 2+ arguments we need to change the parser, but it is just a limitation of the current approach and we probably can remove it.

What functions would you like to see?

Just add your function here and send a PR.

Maybe it could be done automatically, i.e. initialize list of functions with select * from system.functions where is_aggregate and then allow any of them, or simply allow all of them, and just return an error if the function doesn't exist?

I'm not sure for now, I just thought about providing simple alternative for splunk with uptrace.
