Whatever I wanted to do does not seem to be possible (probably a limitation
or a bug)... I see a way to get the KeyspaceMetadata and from that get the
UserType instance (code lines 1 & 2 below).
1.)
org.apache.cassandra.schema.KeyspaceMetadata ksm =
org.apache.cassandra.config.Schema.instance.getKSMetaData("test_ks");
2.)
com.datastax.driver.core.UserType myUdt = ksm.types.get("my_other_udt").get();
But this fails with the below error because Schema is not a whitelisted
package. It probably should not be whitelisted but there should be a way to
create and return a user defined type.
<stdin>:88:InvalidRequest: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Could not
compile function 'test_ks.transform_udt' from Java source:

My updated UDF for complete context.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_ks.transform_udt (val my_udt)
RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
RETURNS my_other_udt
LANGUAGE java
AS '
String fieldA = val.getString("field_a");
org.apache.cassandra.schema.KeyspaceMetadata ksm =
org.apache.cassandra.config.Schema.instance.getKSMetaData("test_ks");
com.datastax.driver.core.UserType myUdt =
ksm.types.get("my_other_udt").get();
com.datastax.driver.core.UDTValue transformedValue = myUdt.newValue();
transformedValue.setUUID("id", java.util.UUID.randomUUID());
transformedValue.setString("field_a", fieldA);
transformedValue.setString("field_b", "value b");
return transformedValue;
