@goldmedal added support for Async user defined functions in
As @comphead points out, I don't know of any other database engine that supports this, so it would be a great idea to tell the world about it in a blog post
Describe the solution you'd like
The following would make a killer blog post:
- Overview of async user defined functions and their usecases (calling LLMs, fetching http results, etc)
- Example of creating an async UDF with datafusion (perhaps calling out to run http requests to fetch wikipedia pages and write results to a parquet file)
- Description of how it is implemneted (example plan with AsyncFuncExec, etc)
