Do not skip symlinks in user_defined directory during SQL user defined functions loading
Do not skip symlinks in user_defined directory during SQL user defined functions loading. Closes #38042. #38184 (Maksim Kita).Why it matters
Previously, symbolic links in theuser_defined directory were skipped when loading SQL user-defined functions, preventing users from organizing or sharing function definitions via symlinks. This feature fixes that limitation, allowing symlinked functions to be recognized and loaded properly, increasing flexibility in managing user-defined functions.How to use it
Place symbolic links to SQL user-defined function files inside theuser_defined directory. ClickHouse will automatically load these functions from symlink targets without skipping them.
