OFunction - setIdempotent()

Sets whether the function is idempotent.

Function Idempotence

OrientDB differentiates between idempotent queries and non-idempotent commands. That is, queries that always return the same results versus commands that write to the database. In functions this is indicated by a simple boolean value set on the OFunction instance. Using this method you can set idempotence for the function. To determine whether a function is set as idempotent, see the isIdempotent() method.
