Sean Owen commented on SPARK-13508:
-----------------------------------

Why would you do this? just take the sqrt of the values in the vector you get. 
This is a bad way to do it.

> For direct retrival of Standard Deviation for Anlaytics

> As part of easying up the analytical capabilities, I would like to add the 
> standard deviation as such. As of now variance is directly available. Its 
> square root will give the standard deviation. But as direct functionality it 
> will save the time of the data analysts/scientists.
