Hi all, A recent PR[1] has been opened to bring in json scalar functions from the datafusion-contrib crate datafusion-functions-json. Before I move forward with either approving or closing this PR, I was wondering how the broader community felt about adding outside content like this. The code from datafusion-contrib is unofficial, so I'm hesitant to include it in our official release.
I could see a second route which would be to add python support for all of those functions inside that contrib crate. But that means someone who maintains that code will also need to publish python packages in addition to their current rust code. It's not a huge burden, but it is additional work. I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on non-official crate functions being included. [1]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python/pull/1466
