Got it, I solved the problem changing the grouping function: instead of group by r._1 (int the topk case) now I group using a function that return r._1
thus both, group and sort, have a function as parameter is there a reason why it works in this way? probably you should make it very clear in the documentation michele Il giorno 17/giu/2015, alle ore 08:35, Michele Bertoni <michele1.bert...@mail.polimi.it<mailto:michele1.bert...@mail.polimi.it>> ha scritto: Hi Fabian, My dataset is of this type RegionType (Long, String, Long, Long, Char, Array[GValue]) Where GValue is a case class implemented by GString(v:String) GDouble(v:Double) I have two case of sorting: In the first (topk) i have to group by the first field of the regions and sort by a set of fields of the GValue array In the second (topg) i have to sort by the first field of the regions and by a set of fields of the array, then sort by one field of the array For grouping i am using the groupby function with a function as parameter that creates the hash of the desired fields, something like ds.groupby((r:RegionType) => s = new stringBuilder s.append(r._1) grouping.init.foreach((index:int) => s.append("#") s.append(r._6(index)) ) Md5.hash(s.toString) ) Then i sort it using (in the topg case, the second) .sortGroup(((r:RegionType)=> r._6(grouping.last ) /*here i am doing some cast, i am writing from my smartphone i don't remember all the details sorry*/ ),Order.ASCENDING) in the first case instead i group only by r._1 and i have a recursive function that appends sortgroup operator to the grouoed dataset Is there a way to solve this? I think i don't understand what a keySelector is Thanks!

The API is currently restricted in the way, that you can only use a key selector function for the sorting key if you also used a selector function for the grouping key. In Scala the use of key selector functions is often not very obvious. If you post the groupBy().sortGroup() command and the input type, I can help you getting it right.
