### What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR adds support for `UserDefinedAggregateFunction` to the Spark Connect Scala Client. While this is a deprecated feature, we still believe it is useful to support it to ensure we reduce incompatibilities between classic and connect. Implementation wise I opted to convert the `UserDefinedAggregateFunction` to an `Aggregator`, and use that code path for execution. This is probably not as fast as the original implementation (more allocations). ### Why are the changes needed? This reduces friction between the classic and connect implementations. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? Yes. It enabled Spark Connect Scala Client users to use `UserDefinedAggregateFunction`s. ### How was this patch tested? Added tests to ### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling? No. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
