Xiang Gao edited comment on SPARK-17185 at 8/22/16 2:59 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------ Changing API is a bad idea and we should not do this. Maybe these changes might help(I'm not sure): * add {{aggregateByKey}} and {{aggregateBy}} to {{Dataset}}, which does exactly the same thing as {{groupByKey}} and {{groupBy}} does now. * The return value of {{aggregateByKey}} and {{aggregateBy}} should be two new class: {{KeyValueAggregatedDataset}} and {{RelationalAggregatedDataset}}, which is a copy of {{KeyValueGroupedDataset}} and {{RelationalGroupedDataset}} now. * add new methods to get a key-list pair to class {{KeyValueGroupedDataset}} and {{RelationalGroupedDataset}} and maybe deprecate the methods to do aggregation in these two class was (Author: zasdfgbnm): Changing API is a bad idea and we should not do this.
