Actually rqlite release 7.7.0[1] adds support for RANDOM(). Timestamp functions support will be added to an upcoming release. It does this by statement-rewriting[2] before sending the SQL to the Raft log.

And benbjohnson wrote the SQL parser[1] rqlite uses to do all this. So you see, the man is everywhere. :-)
