Github user justinuang commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8662#issuecomment-141232211 I'm not sure there is a solution that satisfies all the requirements. I can say that this approach addresses 1,2,4 by design. Would you guys support a 1.6.0 UDF implementation that uses thrift for the RPC and serialization? In general, I think the custom-rolled socket, serialization, and cleanup approach as pretty scary. They're already solved problems, and then we can support multiple language bindings at the DataFrame level, where I think it's a lot easier to implement. We could even support broadcast variables by allowing language bindings to store bytes in the UDF that will be passed back to them. I don't think we need to support accumulators right?
