sealed abstract class UserDefinedFunction extends AnyRef
A user-defined function. To create one, use the udf functions in functions.
As an example:
// Define a UDF that returns true or false based on some numeric score. val predict = udf((score: Double) => score > 0.5) // Projects a column that adds a prediction column based on the score column. df.select( predict(df("score")) )
