Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-10707:
--------------------------------------------

[~slebresne] I tried the approach that you suggested but without success.
My idea was to increase the {{groupCount}} in the {{onPartitionClose()}} method 
if the {{rowCount}} was not equals to the {{rowLimit}}. Unfortunatly, in the 
case where the {{rowCount}} equals the {{rowLimit}} the next call return an 
empty {{PartitionIterator}}. In this case the {{Counter}} does not receive any 
notification and the pager consider that the data are exhausted. Without 
callbacks it is difficult to adjust the {{groupCount}}. Performing the 
modification outside of the {{CQLGroupByLimits}} is probably possible but will 
force us to modify the {{DataLimits}} and {{QueryParser}} interfaces to expose 
the {{rowCount}}.
I guess it is the reason why I ended up going in the direction of passing an 
extra row up to the coordinator.

I do not deny that there might be a better way of doing the things but so far I 
have not found it.
If you have some suggestions do not hesitate.

> Now that Cassandra support aggregate functions, it makes sense to support 
> {{GROUP BY}} on the {{SELECT}} statements.
> It should be possible to group either at the partition level or at the 
> clustering column level.
> {code}
> SELECT partitionKey, max(value) FROM myTable GROUP BY partitionKey;
> SELECT partitionKey, clustering0, clustering1, max(value) FROM myTable GROUP 
> BY partitionKey, clustering0, clustering1; 
> {code}
