Joe,
I think at least initially things can be a lot simpler:

I would suggest that we just follow the lead of C functions. The
database doesn't compile your C source when you register a C function,
you just tell the database where the precompiled code is and what the
entry point is. To start with, I think the java version should do the
same. Tell the server the statuc class.method to run, but leave the
compiling and loading the classes to the user.

Yes.

Sure.

Overkill (at least initially) see my comments above.

Should reuse the FE/BE protocol, and then much of the work is done in
the existing jdbc driver code

Already handled by the existing FE/BE code in both jdbc and the server.
