Elazar Gershuni updated SPARK-12623:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
Why doesn't the argument to mapValues() take a key as an agument? 
Alternatively, can we have a "mapKeyValuesToValues" that does?

Use case: I want to write a simpler analyzer that takes the argument to map(), 
and analyze it to see whether it (trivially) doesn't change the key, e.g. 
g = lambda kv: (kv[0], f(kv[0], kv[1]))
rdd.map(g)

Problem is, if I find that it is the case, I can't call mapValues() with that 
function, as in `rdd.mapValues(lambda kv: g(kv)[1])`, since mapValues receives 
only `v` as an argument.
