> This issue is about adding a hash-based combine strategy for ReduceFunctions.
> The interface of the {{reduce()}} method is as follows:
> {code}
> public T reduce(T v1, T v2)
> {code}
> Input type and output type are identical and the function returns only a
> single value. A Reduce function is incrementally applied to compute a final
> aggregated value. This allows to hold the preaggregated value in a hash-table
> and update it with each function call.
> The hash-based strategy requires special implementation of an in-memory hash
> table. The hash table should support in place updates of elements (if the
> updated value has the same size as the new value) but also appending updates
> with invalidation of the old value (if the binary length of the new value
> differs). The hash table needs to be able to evict and emit all elements if
> it runs out-of-memory.
> We should also add {{HASH}} and {{SORT}} compiler hints to
> {{DataSet.reduce()}} and {{Grouping.reduce()}} to allow users to pick the
> execution strategy.
