Description
It would be great if SQL users could invoke a table-generating function to call out to a FHIR terminology server and return the results of a ValueSet expansion.
This would provide a pathway for SQL users to access ValueSet expansion functionality without necessarily having to integrate with the Pathling FHIR API.
There does not appear to be a public API for this in Spark, but perhaps this class provides an entry point.

Research direction
Start by reading Apache Spark's sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/expressions/generators.scala, which the issue identifies as a possible entry point. Define how a SQL table-generating function should call a FHIR terminology server and return ValueSet expansion results, then verify that SQL users can access the functionality without integrating with the Pathling FHIR API.
