Hi Magnus,

there is no Split operator on the DataSet API.

As you said, this can be done using a FilterFunction. This also allows for
non-binary splits:

DataSet<X> setToSplit = ...
DataSet<X> firstSplit = setToSplit.filter(new SplitCondition1());
DataSet<X> secondSplit = setToSplit.filter(new SplitCondition2());
DataSet<X> thirdSplit = setToSplit.filter(new SplitCondition3());

where SplitCondition1, SplitCondition2, and SplitCondition3 are
FilterFunction that filter out all records that don't belong to the split.

Best, Fabian
