Hi everyone, With the discussions from the earlier threads largely wrapped up, I would like to raise a vote to adopt the SQL UDF specification.
*What is included?* The SQL UDF spec defines a common way to describe and manage user defined functions across catalogs and engines. It covers how functions are identified, their parameters and types, and basic metadata for versioning and compatibility. *What does adopting this spec mean?* Adopting this spec means the community agrees on the current design and will keep it compatible going forward. It doesn’t require immediate implementation or enabling UDFs by default, but sets a stable foundation for future work. Any breaking changes later would follow the normal spec evolution process. Many thanks to everyone who contributed feedback, reviews, and design discussions to help shape this spec. The amount of iteration and cross project input has been invaluable. Related links: 1.

[ ] +1 Adopt the SQL UDF specification [ ] +0 [ ] -1 Do not adopt at this time, with reason Yufei
