Description

Hi there,

Recently I'm studying on gandiva and trying to add some UDF. I noted that it's needed to check the UDF implementation into the arrow repo, register the UDF and then build the UDF into precompiled_bitcode lib, right? I'm just wandering that is it possible to register new UDFs dynamically? Say I have the UDF implementation code locally which is not built into the gandiva lib yet, am I able to call some function or other solutions provided by gandiva officially to register and implement it. Thanks in advance.
