    If our language compatibility guideline mandate that all public RDD methods 
should be in all languages, adding `combineByKey` I can't really argue against 
adding it to Java.
    
    That said, for the future, I think it's probably worth deprecating 
`combineByKey` and adding any needed functionality to `aggregateByKey`.  This 
part probably makes sense in a different JIRA.
