Sean Owen updated SPARK-11371:
------------------------------
    Component/s: SQL

[~tedyu] again: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Contributing+to+Spark
Add a component. We don't use patches.

I don't think this is a helpful change since you're helping people write 
nonstandard SQL.

> Make "mean" an alias for "avg" operator

> From Reynold in the thread 'Exception when using some aggregate operators'  
> (http://search-hadoop.com/m/q3RTt0xFr22nXB4/):
> I don't think these are bugs. The SQL standard for average is "avg", not 
> "mean". Similarly, a distinct count is supposed to be written as 
> "count(distinct col)", not "countDistinct(col)".
> We can, however, make "mean" an alias for "avg" to improve compatibility 
> between DataFrame and SQL.
