All methods of `AggregateFunction` must be declared as `public`, not `static` and named exactly as the names mentioned above. The methods `createAccumulator`, `getValue`, `getResultType`, and `getAccumulatorType` are defined in the `AggregateFunction` abstract class, while others are contracted methods. In order to define a table function, one has to extend the base class `org.apache.flink.table.functions.AggregateFunction` and implement one (or more) `accumulate` methods. The method `accumulate` can be overloaded with different custom types and arguments and also support variable arguments.
