Abstract

A method includes decoding, by at least one hardware processor, a request for a user-defined function (UDF). The request includes a reference to one or more files. The method further includes generating, by the at least one hardware processor, the UDF based on the request. The UDF includes a file reference object with file path information corresponding to the reference. The file path information identifies a file path to the one or more files. A UDF call into the UDF is detected. The UDF call specifies the file path information. The UDF call is processed to generate result data using the one or more files.
