If we want to add UDF-specific methods, there's no guarantee we could do that in a backward-compatible way even if we used a specialized interface. (Mostly unrelated fun fact: Intellij can autofill `this.getClass.getMethod` calls, so it's more convenient to use than I initially thought.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
