Sean Owen updated SPARK-9744:
-----------------------------
    Priority: Minor  (was: Major)

This sounds a bit like a windowing function. This is something you can do with 
a zip-with-index and join -- does that not work?
Or you can get the same effect efficiently* with mapPartitions, and using Scala 
collections methods to look at pairs of elements at a time. This also depends 
on the elements being sorted.

*you'd fail to compare elements across partition boundaries; sometimes that is 
a non-starter, sometimes that's fine.

> To avoid zipping with index and doing numerous mapping and joins, having a 
> single method call to map with an additional two parameters (1: list of 
> offsets [(-) for lag, 0 for current and (+) for lead])) and (2:default 
> value). The other difference to the map function takes an argument of List<T> 
> and not just T.
