Yes - that sounds good Anton, I can work on documenting the window functions.

I think it will make sense to show a sample implementation of UserDefinedAggregateFunction for DataFrames, and an example of the Aggregator API for typed Datasets. Jim, what if I submit a PR and you join the review process? I also do not mind to split this if you want, but it seems to be an overkill for this part. Jayesh, shall I skip the window functions part since you are going to work on that? 2016-12-15 22:48 GMT+01:00 Thakrar, Jayesh <jthak...@conversantmedia.com<mailto:jthak...@conversantmedia.com>>: I too am interested in expanding the documentation for Spark SQL. For my work I needed to get some info/examples/guidance on window functions and have been using https://databricks.com/blog/2015/07/15/introducing-window-functions-in-spark-sql.html . How about divide and conquer?

I've been working on implementing geospatial user-defined types and functions. Having examples of aggregations and window functions would be awesome! I did test out implementing a distributed convex hull as a UserDefinedAggregateFunction, and that seemed to work sensibly.

For instance, there might be a separate subsection under "Getting Started" for each functionality. SPARK-16046 seems to be related but there is no activity for more than 4 months.
