### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? By adding the foreign function interface to this project, we exposed a host of features to end users. It allows for easy integration of DataFusion libraries across projects, specifically impacting `datafusion-python`. I recommend that we work to expose scalar, aggregate, and window user defined functions via FFI. This is to support the issue https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python/issues/1017 ### Describe the solution you'd like Follow the existing pattern within the `datafusion` repository and expose these types of user defined functions. - [ ] scalar - [ ] aggregate - [ ] window - [ ] table Note: The table functions are not currently in use in `datafusion-python`, but it would be a good addition. ### Describe alternatives you've considered For the `datafusion-python` project, we can work around via python calls but this would be a far more elegant approach in my opinion. ### Additional context Once we have these exposed, we could expose the function registry, which would get us very close to a FFI SessionContext. That would have impacts on the `ballista` and `datafusion-ray` projects. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
