haizhou-zhao opened a new issue, #2427: URL: https://github.com/apache/sedona/issues/2427
For industry users utilizing HiveMetastore, IcebergRestCatalog, or other table metastore options, it may be helpful to provide an option for registering geospatial-related UDFs (user-defined functions) with the metastore of their choice. This would allow organizations to manage UDF registration more flexibly, instead of relying solely on built-in functions, which could complicate command resolution paths when many geospatial UDFs are present. This is not an urgent request, but a tracking issue to consider adding support or documentation for registering Sedona geospatial UDFs with different metastore options (Hive, Iceberg, etc.), or offering guidelines for users with such needs. Reference: [PR #2420 discussion](https://github.com/apache/sedona/pull/2420#discussion_r2452872125) **Potential benefits:** - Improved flexibility for enterprise deployments - Avoid unnecessarily complicating function resolution for commands that do not use geospatial UDFs - Support for advanced metastore setups **Next steps:** - Discuss implementation options - Collect use cases from community/industry users - Consider documentation or configuration options Feel free to comment with additional ideas or requirements. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
