Hi Xuyang,
Thanks for your response. I can provide some better context, we are migrating a
use case to FlinkSQL and they want to do some query that has a UDF like
SELECT user_id,
ARRAY_MAP(transactions, x -> x * 1.1) AS taxed_transactions
FROM users;
Based on my understanding of the API for UDFs in Flink, this will not be
possible with the current framework?
Best,
Tucker
