>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: Table API & SQL

> Currently overload is not supported in user defined function and given the following UDF
> {code:java}
> class Func21 extends ScalarFunction {
>   def eval(p: People): String = {
>     p.name
>   }
>   def eval(p: Student): String = {
>     "student#" + p.name
>   }
> }
> class People(val name: String)
> class Student(name: String) extends People(name)
> class GraduatedStudent(name: String) extends Student(name)
> {code}
> Queries such as the following will compile failed with error msg "Found multiple 'eval' methods which match the signature."
>  
> {code:java}
> val udf = new Func21
> val table = ...
> table.select(udf(new GraduatedStudent("test"))) {code}
> That's because overload is not supported in user defined function currently. I think it will make sense to support overload following the java language specification in section [15.2|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.12].
