Interface to provide compile-time information for a single phase of a multi-phase user-defined transform function.
Note that even though this class shares some methods with TransformFunctionFactory, it is explicitly not a subclass (because it is incorrect to implement a getPrototype() method for this class).

Called when Vertica needs a new TransformFunction object to process this phase of a multi-phase UDT.
Note: More than one object may be instantiated per query.
srvInterface | a ServerInterface object used to communicate with Vertica |

Function to tell Vertica what the return types (and length/precision if necessary) and partition-by, order-by of this phase are.
For CHAR/VARCHAR types, specify the max length,
For NUMERIC types, specify the precision and scale.
For Time/Timestamp types (with or without time zone), specify the precision, -1 means unspecified/don't care
For IntervalYM/IntervalDS types, specify the precision and range
For all other types, no length/precision specification needed

argTypes | Provides the data types of arguments that this phase was called with, along with partition and order information. This may be used to modify the return types accordingly. |
returnTypes | User code must fill in the names and data types returned by this phase, along with the partition-by and order-by column information (if any). |
