erikerlandson edited a comment on issue #25024: [SPARK-27296][SQL] User Defined Aggregators that do not ser/de on each input row URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/25024#issuecomment-538597586 @cloud-fan I could get behind that as a unification. The piece I'm ambivalent about is this one: "convert the projected internal row to `IN` type object via the encoder". What is the logic for constructing an encoder that will de-code some arbitrary projected InternalRow to type `IN`? I could imagine being able to convert some InternalRow to a tuple up front, but we don't know what `IN` is, in general. The programmer who defines the `Aggregator` might provide one, but that would imply adding some new features to `Aggregator`, like an encoder for `IN`, and an expected input-schema (like UDAF and IDIA have). I'll look at `ScalaReflection` further to solve the input encoding issue.
