James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-3390:
---------------------------------------
Appreciate your efforts here, [[email protected]]. Having support for
approximate counts and other aggregates would be a great addition to Phoenix.
I'd really need to see a patch to evaluate this further, though. My main points
were that:
- we wouldn't want to introduce an aggregate function that requires column
names to be in quotes
- we'd want to make sure the name of the aggregate functions reflect what they
do. For example, hllUnion(my_col) would not have any meaning to users.
- we'd want to make sure that you can include any expression in the arguments,
for example, approx_sum(col1/col2 * col3)
