-------------------------------------
Hello everyone.
Do FLINK-4604 extends this issue? or is FLINK-4604 part of this issue for flink
sql?
> Add standard deviation, mean, variance to list of Aggregations
> --------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-3613
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3613
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Todd Lisonbee
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: DataSet-Aggregation-Design-March2016-v1.txt
>
>
> Implement standard deviation, mean, variance for
> org.apache.flink.api.java.aggregation.Aggregations
> Ideally implementation should be single pass and numerically stable.
