Abstract
A method to access data includes generating, by at least one hardware processor, a user-defined function (UDF). The UDF includes a file reference object corresponding to at least one file and a file operation configuration. The at least one file is retrieved based on a UDF call into the UDF. The retrieving is further based on the file reference object. A compression status of the at least one file is determined. The UDF call is processed to generate result data using the at least one file. The processing of the UDF call is based on the compression status and the file operation configuration.
