Is it possible to implement a “dynamic provider” with the Java SDK, at this point?

No, dynamic providers aren’t supported for Java (and neither for .NET and Go)

iirc dynamic providers rely on function serialization

Just a thought, with the caveat that I have _zero_ idea why function serialization is involved with dynamic providers (and don’t really want to know) — but it would be pretty cool if at some point we had a way to create custom ad-hoc (non-dynamic) providers in Java, .NET, and Go.

Speaking for myself, this would be super helpful.

Spark serializes closures somehow, at least in Scala. I was trying to find out how that happens. Perhaps <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22592811/task-not-serializable-java-io-notserializableexception-when-calling-function-ou>

It should be possible on the JVM, but it’s unclear that it’s going to be an easy ride.

java can serialize functions and lambdas, but I haven't looked yet at what dynamic providers require to work
