abstract class UserDefinedType[UserType] extends DataType with Serializable

::DeveloperApi:: The data type for User Defined Types (UDTs).

This interface allows a user to make their own classes more interoperable with SparkSQL; e.g., by creating a UserDefinedType for a class X, it becomes possible to create a DataFrame which has class X in the schema.

For SparkSQL to recognize UDTs, the UDT must be annotated with SQLUserDefinedType.

The conversion via serialize occurs when instantiating a DataFrame from another RDD. The conversion via deserialize occurs when reading from a DataFrame.
