RelationalGroupedDataset (Spark 3.3.3 JavaDoc)

Object
- org.apache.spark.sql.RelationalGroupedDataset

```
public class RelationalGroupedDataset
extends Object
```
A set of methods for aggregations on a DataFrame, created by groupBy, cube or rollup (and also pivot).
The main method is the agg function, which has multiple variants. This class also contains some first-order statistics such as mean, sum for convenience.

Since:

2.0.0

Note:

This class was named GroupedData in Spark 1.x.

public static RelationalGroupedDataset apply(Dataset<Row> df,
                                             scala.collection.Seq<org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.Expression> groupingExprs,

```
  - agg
```
public Dataset<Row> agg(Column expr,
                        Column... exprs)
```
    Compute aggregates by specifying a series of aggregate columns. Note that this function by default retains the grouping columns in its output. To not retain grouping columns, set spark.sql.retainGroupColumns to false.
    The available aggregate methods are defined in functions.
```
   // Selects the age of the oldest employee and the aggregate expense for each department

   // Scala:
   import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
   df.groupBy("department").agg(max("age"), sum("expense"))

   // Java:
   import static org.apache.spark.sql.functions.*;
   df.groupBy("department").agg(max("age"), sum("expense"));
 
```
    Note that before Spark 1.4, the default behavior is to NOT retain grouping columns. To change to that behavior, set config variable spark.sql.retainGroupColumns to false.
```

  - pivot
```
public RelationalGroupedDataset pivot(String pivotColumn)
```
    Pivots a column of the current DataFrame and performs the specified aggregation.
    There are two versions of pivot function: one that requires the caller to specify the list of distinct values to pivot on, and one that does not. The latter is more concise but less efficient, because Spark needs to first compute the list of distinct values internally.
```
   // Compute the sum of earnings for each year by course with each course as a separate column
   df.groupBy("year").pivot("course", Seq("dotNET", "Java")).sum("earnings")

   // Or without specifying column values (less efficient)
   df.groupBy("year").pivot("course").sum("earnings")
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    pivotColumn - Name of the column to pivot.
    
    Returns:
    
    (undocumented)
    
    Since:
    
    1.6.0
  - pivot
```
public RelationalGroupedDataset pivot(String pivotColumn,
                                      scala.collection.Seq<Object> values)
```
    Pivots a column of the current DataFrame and performs the specified aggregation. There are two versions of pivot function: one that requires the caller to specify the list of distinct values to pivot on, and one that does not. The latter is more concise but less efficient, because Spark needs to first compute the list of distinct values internally.
```
   // Compute the sum of earnings for each year by course with each course as a separate column
   df.groupBy("year").pivot("course", Seq("dotNET", "Java")).sum("earnings")

   // Or without specifying column values (less efficient)
   df.groupBy("year").pivot("course").sum("earnings")
 
```
    From Spark 3.0.0, values can be literal columns, for instance, struct. For pivoting by multiple columns, use the struct function to combine the columns and values:
```
   df.groupBy("year")
     .pivot("trainingCourse", Seq(struct(lit("java"), lit("Experts"))))
     .agg(sum($"earnings"))
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    pivotColumn - Name of the column to pivot.
    
    values - List of values that will be translated to columns in the output DataFrame.
    
    Returns:
    
    (undocumented)
    
    Since:
    
    1.6.0

                                      java.util.List<Object> values)
```
    (Java-specific) Pivots a column of the current DataFrame and performs the specified aggregation.
    There are two versions of pivot function: one that requires the caller to specify the list of distinct values to pivot on, and one that does not. The latter is more concise but less efficient, because Spark needs to first compute the list of distinct values internally.

   df.groupBy("year").pivot("course", Arrays.<Object>asList("dotNET", "Java")).sum("earnings");

   // Or without specifying column values (less efficient)
