Sean Owen updated SPARK-18728:
------------------------------
    Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Bug)

I think the questions will be: what does it gain? and what is the cost of 
introducing a dependency just for this class?

> Consider using Algebird's Aggregator instead of 
> org.apache.spark.sql.expressions.Aggregator

> Mansur (https://twitter.com/mansur_ashraf) pointed out this comment in 
> spark's Aggregator here:
> "Based loosely on Aggregator from Algebird: 
> https://github.com/twitter/algebird";
> https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/expressions/Aggregator.scala#L46
> Which got a few of us wondering, given that this API is still experimental, 
> would you consider using algebird's Aggregator API directly instead?
> The algebird API is not coupled with any implementation details, and 
> shouldn't have any extra dependencies.
> Are there any blockers to doing that?
> Thanks!
> Alex
