Question: Rust SDK for Sail

[smarbl-AnimeshAditha]

Is there a Rust native SDK for sail similar to PySail? If not is it in the development roadmap?

Thanks for reaching out! Sail is distributed as a Python library, or you can build standalone binary or package it in a container image for your use cases. There is no plan to publish it as Rust crates for use in other Rust projects.

In that case, are there plans to support UDFs in native rust? I am trying to build something which requires custom expression parsing and running transformations using that which I am assuming will be terribly slow if I invoke the parser as a python UDF

That could be possible through the extension API. Discussion here:
