-Aggregate functions
\ No newline at end of file
+Spark SQL provides build-in aggregate functions defined in the dataset API and
SQL interface. Aggregate functions
+operate on a group of rows and return a single value.
+
+Spark SQL aggregate functions are grouped as <code>agg_funcs</code> in Spark
SQL. Below is the list of functions.
+
+**Note:** All functions below have another signature which takes String as a
expression.
+
+<table class="table">
+ <thead>
+ <tr><th style="width:25%">Function</th><th>Parameter
Type(s)</th><th>Description</th></tr>
+ </thead>
+ <tbody>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>{any | some | bool_or}</b>(<i>expression</i>)</td>
+ <td>boolean</td>
+ <td>Returns true if at least one value is true.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>approx_count_distinct</b>(<i>expression[, relativeSD]</i>)</td>
+ <td>(long, double)</td>
+ <td>RelativeSD is the maximum estimation error allowed. Returns the
estimated cardinality by HyperLogLog++.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>{avg | mean}</b>(<i>expression</i>)</td>
+ <td>numeric or string</td>
+ <td>Returns the average of values in the input expression.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>{bool_and | every}</b>(<i>expression</i>)</td>
+ <td>boolean</td>
+ <td>Returns true if all values are true.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>collect_list</b>(<i>expression</i>)</td>
+ <td>any</td>
+ <td>Collects and returns a list of non-unique elements. The function is
non-deterministic because the order of collected results depends on the order
of the rows which may be non-deterministic after a shuffle.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>collect_set</b>(<i>expression</i>)</td>
+ <td>any</td>
+ <td>Collects and returns a set of unique elements. The function is
non-deterministic because the order of collected results depends on the order
of the rows which may be non-deterministic after a shuffle.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>corr</b>(<i>expression1, expression2</i>)</td>
+ <td>double, double</td>
+ <td>Returns Pearson coefficient of correlation between a set of number
pairs.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>count</b>([<b>DISTINCT</b>] {<i><b>*</b></i> | <i>expression1[,
expression2</i>]})</td>
+ <td>none; any</td>

What does `none; any` mean?
