> I think the more interesting case for UDFs is when we want to use some other library that does efficient compute and is capable of working with Arrow data. For example, numpy. Here is an example that exposes numpy's gcd function (greatest common divisor) as an Arrow function I think this would indeed be a more compelling example. Another example could be a specific python functionality (eg something from `ipaddress`, to check or extract some information from strings that are supposed to be ipaddresses), although this will typically only work on scalars, and thus will be slow (but it's still an example how you can use this within arrow). Or another example could be a custom function implemented in numba. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
