+The <code>GROUP BY</code> clause is used to group the rows based on a set of
specified grouping expressions and compute aggregations on
+the group of rows based on one or more specified aggregate functions. Spark
also supports advanced aggregations to do multiple
+aggregations for the same input record set via `GROUPING SETS`, `CUBE`,
`ROLLUP` clauses.

+### Syntax
+{% highlight sql %}
+GROUP BY [ GROUPING SETS grouping_sets ] group_expression [ , group_expression
[ , ... ] ]
+ [ ( WITH ROLLUP | WITH CUBE | GROUPING SETS grouping_sets ) ) ]
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Parameters
+<dl>
+ <dt><code><em>GROUPING SETS</em></code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ Groups the rows for each subset of the expressions specified in the
grouping sets. For example,
+ <code>GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (warehouse, product)</code> is semantically
equivalent
+ to union of results of <code>GROUP BY warehouse</code> and <code>GROUP BY
product</code>. This clause
+ is a shorthand for a <code>UNION ALL</code> where each leg of the
<code>UNION ALL</code>
