**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
In a distributed setup the scheduler plans a query and hands stages to executors; only the executors ever call a Python UDF. Decoding an inlined Python UDF unpickles the function, which requires a Python interpreter and every module the function closes over to be importable. Doing that on the scheduler costs work nobody needs and forces the scheduler image to carry Python and the full dependency set of user code it will never run. Raised in https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python/pull/1678#pullrequestreview-5100366976.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
An opaque decode path: a `ScalarUDFImpl` that holds the still-pickled blob rather than a live Python object, and a codec that produces it. A scheduler installs that codec, decodes a plan into something it can inspect, route, and re-encode, and never touches cloudpickle. The executor installs the ordinary codec and unpickles as it does now.
The wire format already allows this. An inlined UDF payload is `DFPYUDF` followed by a version byte and the cloudpickle blob (`crates/core/src/codec.rs`), so an opaque holder can carry those bytes verbatim and no format change is needed.
The part that needs design is re-encoding. A scheduler that forwards a stage has to emit the blob byte-identically, so the executor sees exactly what the client wrote. That also raises what such a UDF should report for the things DataFusion asks of a `ScalarUDFImpl` during planning — name, signature, and return type are all recoverable from the payload without unpickling, since they are stored alongside the function, but `invoke` has to be an error rather than a surprise.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Encoding Python UDFs by name only and registering them on every node. Already supported and appropriate when the function is available everywhere; it does not cover the case inlining exists for, which is a function the receiving process does not have.
Having the scheduler unpickle and immediately drop the object. Keeps the code simple, and still requires Python plus all user dependencies on the scheduler, which is the actual cost being avoided.
**Additional context**
Follow-up from #1678, which made extension codecs compose so a setup like this can install a scheduler-side codec alongside others. Likely also depends on #1703, gating `pyo3/extension-module`, if the consumer is a Rust crate rather than a Python process.

Hướng nghiên cứu
Bắt đầu bằng cách đọc crates/core/src/codec.rs và phần công việc về codec mở rộng từ #1678 để hiểu wire format của DFPYUDF và cách kết hợp các codec. Thiết kế ScalarUDFImpl và codec phía scheduler dựa trên payload hiện có, giữ nguyên các byte cloudpickle trong quá trình mã hóa lại, đồng thời cung cấp metadata có thể khôi phục và khiến invoke trả về lỗi. Kiểm tra ngữ cảnh dependency trong #1703.
