----------------------------

             Summary: Use ExpressionEncoder to serialize to catalyst type for 
the return type of ScalaUDF
                 Key: SPARK-32154
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32154
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
            Reporter: wuyi


Users now could register a UDF with Instant/LocalDate as return type even with 

spark.sql.datetime.java8API.enabled=false. However, the UDF can only be really 
used with spark.sql.datetime.java8API.enabled=true. This could make users 
confused.

The problem is we use ExpressionEncoder to ser/deser types when registering the 
UDF, but use Catalyst converters to ser/deser types, which is under control of  
spark.sql.datetime.java8API.enabled,  when executing UDF.

If we could also use ExpressionEncoder to ser/deser types, similar to what we 
do for input parameter types, the, UDF could support Instant/LocalDate, event 
other combined complex types as well.
