Sun Rui commented on SPARK-6817:
--------------------------------
If we think that column-oriented UDF is more important, I can do it with a
higher priority. Just need some help on technical insights. I doubt UDAF is not
exact match, because UDAF only returns only one value for a column. But in R,
operations on a column may still return another non-scalar column. And in order
to seamlessly use existing R functions, a column in question need to be loaded
as a whole into memory as a vector or list, which may suffer OOM if the column
has too many rows.
