> Project: DataFu
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0

> A new method for when you want to de-duplicate records, but not lose any
> "real" data.
> For example if a server creates events with an autogenerated event id, and
> sometimes
> events are duplicated. You don't want double rows just for the event ids, but
> if any of the other fields are distinct you want to keep the rows (with their
> original event ids) - otherwise you'd just drop the event id column. In order
> to keep at least one value you need to tediously list all the other columns.
> The API as I implemented it looks like this:
> {code:java}
> /**
> * @param df
> * @param ignoredColumn The one column whose value you need only one of
> * @param aggFunction Default is max
> * @return DataFrame
> */
> def dedupByAllExcept(df: DataFrame, ignoredColumn: String, aggFunction :
> String => Column = functions.max): DataFrame
> {code}
