-------------------------------------------

Hi [~sunrui],

I’ve made some progress in putting logical and physical plans together and 
calling R workers, however I still have some questions.
1. I’m still not quite sure about the number of partitions. As you wrote in 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6817 we need to 
    tune the number of partitions based on “spark.sql.shuffle.partitions”. What 
do you exactly mean by tuning? Repartitioning ?
2.   I have another question about grouping by keys:
      groupByKey with one key is fine, however if we have more than one key we 
probably need to introduce a case class. With a case
      class it looks okay too, but I’m not sure how convenient it is. Any ideas 
?
      case class KeyData(a: Int, b: Int)
      val gd1 = df.groupByKey(r=>KeyData(r.getInt(0), r.getInt(1)))


Thanks,
Narine

> gapply() applies an R function on groups grouped by one or more columns of a 
> DataFrame, and returns a DataFrame. It is like GroupedDataSet.flatMapGroups() 
> in the Dataset API.
> Two API styles are supported:
> 1.
> {code}
> gd <- groupBy(df, col1, ...)
> gapply(gd, function(grouping_key, group) {}, schema)
> {code}
> 2.
> {code}
> gapply(df, grouping_columns, function(grouping_key, group) {}, schema) 
> {code}
> R function input: grouping keys value, a local data.frame of this grouped 
> data 
> R function output: local data.frame
> Schema specifies the Row format of the output of the R function. It must 
> match the R function's output.
> Note that map-side combination (partial aggregation) is not supported, user 
> could do map-side combination via dapply().
