[~enrush] Hi Everett, 
The {{Dataset}} API has an experimental function {{mapPartitions}} for 
transforming {{Dataset}}s.  Does this satisfy your requirements ?

> It would be nice to have a developers' API for dataset transformations that 
> need more than one column from a row (ie UnaryTransformer inputs one column 
> and outputs one column) or that contain objects too expensive to initialize 
> repeatedly in a UDF such as a database connection. 
>  
> Design:
> Abstract class PartitionTransformer extends Transformer and defines the 
> partition transformation function as Iterator[Row] => Iterator[Row]
> NB: This parallels the UnaryTransformer createTransformFunc method
>  
> When developers subclass this transformer, they can provide their own schema 
> for the output Row in which case the PartitionTransformer creates a row 
> encoder and executes the transformation. Alternatively the developer can set 
> output Datatype and output col name. Then the PartitionTransformer class will 
> create a new schema, a row encoder, and execute the transformation.
