Spark SQL has a "first" function that returns the first item in a group. Is
there a similar function, perhaps in a third party lib, that allows you to
return an arbitrary (e.g. 3rd) item from the group? Was thinking of writing
a UDAF for it, but didn't want to reinvent the wheel. My endgoal is to be
able to select a random item from the group, using random number generator.

Thanks.
