In long term, I would suggest method that return handler for any registered
function. So that you can write: SqlFunction something =
spark.(...?).getFunction("parse_url"). Now `spark.udf.register` returns a
handler for UDF, something similar for getting any kind of registered function
may be helpful. However, it's a lot more work, so now I've just proposed to add
this function :)
