It differs in that when no non null values are applied zero is returned instead of null.. One scenario is that we can use sum0 to implement pre-calculation count(pre-calculation system like Apache Kylin). It is very easy in Spark to implement sum0, if community consider this is necessary, I would like to open a JIRA and implement this. --- Regards! Aron Tao
