Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for implementing contract-based polymorphic and parallelizable user-defined scalar and aggregate functions. The systems and methods can include receiving a query including a plurality of user-defined functions, parsing the query into a plurality of nodes (e.g., basic operation unit or atomic operator), generating an execution plan that minimizes data transfer between the plurality of nodes, and executing the plan in a distributed environment. Each of the plurality of user-defined functions can correspond to one of a plurality of nodes.
