This documentation lists the classes that are required for creating and registering UDFs. It also contains examples that demonstrate how to define and register UDFs and invoke them in Spark SQL. + + +### UserDefinedFunction + +A user-defined function. To create one, use the `udf` functions in `functions`. + +<dl> + <dt><code><em>asNonNullable(): UserDefinedFunction</em></code></dt> + <dd> + Updates UserDefinedFunction to non-nullable. + </dd> +</dl> + +<dl> + <dt><code><em>asNondeterministic(): UserDefinedFunction</em></code></dt> + <dd> + Updates UserDefinedFunction to nondeterministic. + </dd> +</dl> + +<dl> + <dt><code><em>deterministic: Boolean</em></code></dt> + <dd> + Returns true iff the UDF is deterministic, i.e. the UDF produces the same output given the same input. + </dd> +</dl> + +<dl> + <dt><code><em>nullable: Boolean</em></code></dt> Review comment: we need `deterministic` and `nullable` here? I personally think `asNonNullable`, `asNondeterministic`, and `withName ` is enough for users. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
