With the latest schema based changes for "vdb.xml" deployment file
inside the VDB, now we have introduced a new model type called
"FUNCTION" with which a UDF file will be defined for a VDB. If tooling
supports, user should be able to define multiple UDF files for a single
VDB going forward.

Currently, Teiid is still looking for single "FunctionDefinition.xmi"
file inside the VDB. Teiid will be modified to look for the above
information inside the xml file and look up UDF models based on 

name == File(name+".xmi")

pattern in segregating the UDF models from others. Is this acceptable
for tooling side?

Thanks
