Did you run your code in Java 7 or Java 8? Java 8 introduces default
implementation for interfaces, but Java 7 could cause problems. I think it
won't hurt if we convert it into an `abstract class`.
> add open and close methods for UserDefinedFunction in TableAPI & SQL

> Key: FLINK-5571
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5571
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: godfrey he
> Assignee: godfrey he
>
> Currently, a User Defined Function (UDF) in table API & SQL works on zero,
> one, or multiple values in custom evaluation method. Many UDFs need more
> complex features, e.g. report metrics, get parameters from job configuration,
> or get extra data from distribute cache file, etc. Adding open and close
> methods in UserDefinedFunction class can solve this problem. The code cloud
> look like:
> {code}
> trait UserDefinedFunction {
> def open(context: UDFContext): Unit = {}
> def close(): Unit = {}
> }
> {code}
> UDFContext contains the information about metric reporters, job parameters,
> distribute cache, etc. The code cloud look like:
> {code}
> class UDFContext(context: RuntimeContext) {
> def getMetricGroup: MetricGroup = ???
> def getDistributedCacheFile(name: String): File = ???
> def getJobParameter(key: String, default: String): String = ???
> }
> {code}
