This patch adds the ability to register lambda functions written in Python, Java or Scala as UDFs for use in SQL or HiveQL.
Scala:
```scala
registerFunction("strLenScala", (_: String).length)
sql("SELECT strLenScala('test')")
```
Python:
```python
sqlCtx.registerFunction("strLenPython", lambda x: len(x), IntegerType())
sqlCtx.sql("SELECT strLenPython('test')")
```
Java:
```java
sqlContext.registerFunction("stringLengthJava", new UDF1<String, Integer>() {
Override
public Integer call(String str) throws Exception {
return str.length();
}
}, DataType.IntegerType);
sqlContext.sql("SELECT stringLengthJava('test')");
```
