This PR lands the first support for Python UDFs in Arroyo! Initially supported are synchronous (i.e., quick-running) scalar UDFs that take python-native arguments (as opposed to Arrow arrays). Python UDFs that operate directly on Arrow and support for long-running UDFs will follow.
A Python UDF in Arroyo looks like this:
and then can be used like any scalar function
Currently, Python UDFs will not work in our Docker containers as they do not host a Python environment.
