Lines 1:2 - get metadata - this step can be cached for multiple invocations

Line 4 - via metadata, get to the function to be invoked through function import

Line 6:7 - get entity container for the given metadata and use URIBuilder as facility for building the invoke URI for the function import - these two steps are optional if one wants to provide directly the full URL in the subsequent statement, in place of builder.build()

Lines 10:11 - an invoke request is obtained, and result is taken as ODataProperty
