+/**
+ * A base class for user-defined aggregations, which can be used in `Dataset` 
operations to take
+ * all of the elements of a group and reduce them to a single value.
+ *
+ * For example, the following aggregator extracts an `int` from a specific 
class and adds them up:
+ * {{{
+ *   case class Data(i: Int)
+ *
+ *   val customSummer =  new Aggregator[Data, Int, Int] {
+ *     def zero: Int = 0
+ *     def reduce(b: Int, a: Data): Int = b + a.i
+ *     def merge(b1: Int, b2: Int): Int = b1 + b2
+ *     def finish(r: Int): Int = r
+ *     def bufferEncoder: Encoder[Int] = Encoders.scalaInt
+ *     def outputEncoder: Encoder[Int] = Encoders.scalaInt
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   spark.udf.register("customSummer", udaf(customSummer))
+ *   val ds: Dataset[Data] = ...
+ *   val aggregated = ds.selectExpr("customSummer(i)")
+ * }}}
+ *
+ * Based loosely on Aggregator from Algebird: 
https://github.com/twitter/algebird
+ *
+ * @tparam IN  The input type for the aggregation.
+ * @tparam BUF The type of the intermediate value of the reduction.
+ * @tparam OUT The type of the final output result.

Review Comment:
   I think it should take a wildcard, we have done similar things before.
