RE: udf
Can you please confirm whether udfs are all session scoped and persistent udfs are not possible to create (in lakehouse) as one can in databricks catalog?
What is the practical use case of udf in fabric then?
Can you clarify your question? I'm suspecting a terminology confusion here.
Fabric UDFs execute their code in a per-session scope, which is a good thing. Having only a single persistant instance of a UDF would be a fun way to leak session states from one call to the other. They are essentially rest-lke. You can make a UDF that acts something onto a backend/callback (aka POST) - e.g. writes data, or triggers a pipeline, etc.
