Description

Currently, stream feature views support both spark and spark_sql execution modes, which enables them to scale efficiently with large datasets. However, on-demand feature views are limited to pandas or python modes only.

This limitation becomes a bottleneck when trying to perform transformations on features that haven't been precomputed, especially in cases where those transformations need to scale to large data volumes. Without Spark support, users are forced to rely on local computation, which significantly hinders scalability and performance.
