Adding explicit function references so that functions can be referred to from within Java code as well as Scala code. This is needed because the Scala syntactic sugar of referring to function is not available in Java, and so turning a scala function to a FunctionX object is impossible. (It is possible using the scala-java8-compat package, however the resultant functions are not serializable which doesn't work with spark)
