Hi Gyorgy,
I guess Your problem might not be directly related to UDFs not UDAFs but
to nested structure of Your data. I did have a problem with processing
nested data and also did not find a way to work this out - especially if
You are not in control of input data structure.
This issues seem very related as nested Rows need some polishing:
- https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/26911
- https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/27733
I have plans to jump on fix for this two, and I guess it would not be
hard, but I do not have any capacity for open source tasks for now.
Anyone would like to take a look at them?
Best

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

Yes, for sure. This is one of the areas Beam excels vs.
more simple tools like SQL. You can write arbitrary code to
iterate over arbitrary structures in the typical
Java/Python/Go/Typescript/Scala/[pick your language] way. In the
Beam nomenclature. UDFs correspond to DoFns and UDAFs correspond
to CombineFns.

Hi,
I've complex nested structure in my input data. Is it possible
to have UDF/UDAF taking nested structure as input? I'm using
java. Outputting nested structure is also a question.
Thank you,
Gyorgy
