Creating and using Spark-Hive UDF for Date

Note: this question is linked from this question: Creting UDF function with NonPrimitive Data Type and using in Spark-sql Query: Scala

I have created a method in scala:

    package test.udf.demo
    object UDF_Class {
    def transformDate( dateColumn: String, df: DataFrame) : DataFrame = {
    val sparksession = SparkSession.builder().appName("App").getOrCreate()
    val d=df.withColumn("calculatedCol", month(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col(dateColumn),  "dd-MM-yyyy")))))
    df.withColumn("date1",  when(col("calculatedCol") === "01",  concat(concat(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol"), "dd-MM- yyyy"))))-1,  lit('-')),substring(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol")), "dd-MM- yyyy"))),3,4))
    .when(col("calculatedCol") ===  "02",concat(concat(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol"), "dd-MM- yyyy"))))-1,  lit('-')),substring(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol")), "dd-MM- yyyy"))),3,4)))
    .when(col("calculatedCol") ===  "03",concat(concat(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol"), "dd-MM- yyyy"))))-1,  lit('-')),substring(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol")), "dd-MM-yyyy"))),3,4)))
    .otherwise(concat(concat(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol"), "dd-MM-  yyyy")))), lit('-')), substring(year(to_date(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(col("calculatedCol"), "dd-MM-yyyy")))) + 1, 3, 4))))) 
    val d1=sparksession.udf.register("transform",transformDate _)
    d
    }
    }

I want to use this transformDate method in my sparksql query which is separate scala code in same package.

    package test.udf.demo
    import test.udf.demo.transformDate
    //sparksession
    sparksession.sql("select id,name,salary,transform(dob) from dbname.tablename")

but I get an error

not a temp or permanent registered function in default database

Can someone please guide me?

AFAIK Spark user defined udfs can cannot accept or return DataFrame. That is stopping your udf from registration

First of all Spark SQL UDF is a Row based function. Not a Dataframe based method. Aggregate UDF also takes a series of Row. So the UDF definition is wrong. If I understood your requirement correctly you want to create a configurable expression of Case statements. It can be easily achieved by expr()

import spark.implicits._
val exprStr = "case when calculatedCol='01' then <here goes your code statements> as FP"
val modifiedDf = sql("""select id,name,salary,$exprStr  from dbname.tablename""")

It will work
