Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-3511:
--------------------------------------

I like [~jkreps] suggestion about giving the aggregators instead of adding more 
and more built-in operators. The problem we need to solve is that, there is 
more than one functions in aggregate: initializer and adder for KStream, 
initializer, adder and subtractor for KTable. So to achieve this simple 
interface we need to have an overloading

aggregate(aggregator, <serdes>)... where aggregator will have multiple APIs and 
hence cannot be re-written in lambda expression; but as long as we make it 
clear that it is only for customizing common aggregations that would be fine.

> Provide built-in aggregators sum() and avg() in Kafka Streams DSL

> Currently we only have one built-in aggregate function count() in the Kafka 
> Streams DSL, but we want to add more aggregation functions like sum() and 
> avg().
