Sorry I was not specific enough. I ment using the SqlTransform registerUdf and registerUdaf. I use a lot of SQL in my pipeline and I would prefer using SQL UDFs in many cases over writing beam transforms. I already have UDFs but I did not find a way to make them work over nested structures. Thank you, Gyorgy
