Exasol User Defined Functions (UDFs) and Script Language Containers (SLCs). Covers `CREATE SCRIPT`, SCALAR and SET functions, variadic scripts with `EMITS(...)` and `default_output_columns`, the `ExaIterator` and `ExaMetadata` APIs, Python, Java, Lua, and R scripts, Lua execute scripts and `pquery`, BucketFS file access, GPU-accelerated UDFs, `ALTER SESSION SET SCRIPT_LANGUAGES` activation, and building custom Script Language Containers with `exaslct`, `exaslpm`, and `packages.yml`.

UDFs extend SQL with custom logic that runs inside the Exasol cluster: per-row transforms, custom aggregation, ML inference against a model in BucketFS, external API calls, and DataFrame batch processing. They execute in a Script Language Container — a Docker-based runtime whose contents you can replace when the default packages are not enough.
SCALAR or SET?
| SCALAR | SET | |
|---|---|---|
| Input | One row at a time | Group of rows (via GROUP BY) |
| Output | RETURNS <type> (single value) | EMITS (col1 TYPE, ...) (zero or more rows) |
| Row iteration | Not needed | ctx.next() loop required |
| SQL usage | SELECT udf(col) FROM t | SELECT udf(col) FROM t GROUP BY key |
| Use case | Per-row transforms | Aggregation, ML batch predict, multi-row emit |
Which language?
| Language | Startup | Best For | Expandable via SLC? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Python 3 (3.10 or 3.12) | ~200ms | ML, data science, pandas, string processing | Yes |
| Java (11 or 17) | ~1s | Enterprise libs, type safety, Virtual Schema adapters | Yes |
| Lua 5.4 | <10ms | Low-latency transforms, row-level security | No (natively compiled into Exasol) |
| R (4.4) | ~200ms | Statistical modeling, R model deployment | Yes |
Choose the narrowest matching route. Several often apply — a Python UDF that reads a model needs routes 1 and 2 — so load all matching references.

概要と使いどころ
Top-level router for Exasol work. Use for any Exasol database, exapump, SQL, BucketFS, extension, integration, UDF, Script Language Container, or Exasol Personal setup task, then route to the narrowest specialized Exasol skill.

Exasol BucketFS file system management via the `exapump bucketfs` CLI. Covers listing, uploading, downloading, and deleting files and directories in BucketFS, the `bfsdefault` service and other bucket services, bucket structure, `bfs_*` profile settings, the `/buckets/<service>/<bucket>/<path>` UDF path, and staging JARs, models, and Script Language Containers for UDFs.

Use Exasol Cloud Storage Extension workflows for moving structured object-storage files through extension UDFs. Covers setup prerequisites, the fixed `CLOUD_STORAGE_EXTENSION.IMPORT_PATH` and `CLOUD_STORAGE_EXTENSION.EXPORT_PATH` entrypoints used with `FROM SCRIPT` and `INTO SCRIPT`, Parquet, Avro, ORC, and Delta files on S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Lake, HDFS, and Alluxio, connection-object credential patterns, and routing away from native IMPORT or EXPORT when the extension path is the right fit.

Exasol database interaction via the exapump CLI and Exasol SQL. Covers SQL queries and DML/DDL such as `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, `MERGE`, `CREATE TABLE`, `ALTER TABLE`, and `DROP TABLE`, `CREATE CONNECTION` connection objects without import or export intent, schema inspection, table design, `exapump sql` and `exapump profile`, query profiling, analytics, and Exasol-specific SQL behavior outside exasol-import and exasol-export.

Distributed machine learning, data mining, and iterative HPC with Exasol. Covers end-to-end ML pipelines (DISTRIBUTE BY + SET scripts + BucketFS), per-entity federated training with partial_fit and ctx.reset(), batch inference, map-reduce ensemble training, distributed ensemble and SON algorithm for frequent itemset mining (Apriori, FP-Growth, association rules, market-basket analysis), Lua execute script orchestration for iterative algorithms (k-means, SGD, gradient descent), scikit-learn model training, parallel hyperparameter search, per-entity forecasting, anomaly detection, model lifecycle in BucketFS (pickle/joblib/ONNX versioning), GPU acceleration via CUDA SLCs (PyTorch/TensorFlow/RAPIDS), and ML-specific performance tuning (skew, OOM, multi-pass chunking).
