Hi,

Thank you for the quick answers !

Ndjido Ardo: actually the Python part is not legacy code. I'm not familiar
with UDF in Spark, do you have some examples of Python UDFs and how to use
them in Scala code ?

Holden Karau: the pipe interface seems like a good solution, but I'm a bit
concerned about performance. Will that work well if I need to pipe a lot of
data ?

Cheers,
Didier
