             Summary: withUDF(...) {...} for supporting temporary UDF 
definitions in the scope
                 Key: SPARK-6382
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6382
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.3.1
            Reporter: Jianshi Huang


Currently the scope of UDF registration is global. It's unsuitable for 
libraries that's built on top of DataFrame, as many operations has to done by 
registering a UDF first.

Please provide a way for binding temporary UDFs.

e.g.

{code}
withUDF(("merge_map", (m1: Map[String, Double], m2: Map[String, Double]) => m2 
++ m2),
    ...) {
  sql("select merge_map(d1.map, d2.map) from d1, d2 where d1.id = d2.id")
}
{code}

Also UDF registry is a mutable Hashmap, refactoring it to a immutable one makes 
more sense.
