["Ted Yu (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4435?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13478311#comment-13478311 ] 

Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4435:
-------------------------------

Thanks for the patch.
Can you provide trunk patch following the example of:
HBASE-6785 'Convert AggregateProtocol to protobuf defined coprocessor service'

Will provide comments soon.

For patch of this size, review board (https://reviews.apache.org) would help reviewers.

> Adds in a Group By -like functionality to HBase, using the Coprocessor framework. 
> It provides the ability to group the result set on one or more columns (groupBy families). It computes statistics (max, min, sum, count, sum of squares, number missing) for a second column, called the stats column. 
> To use, I've provided two implementations.
> 1. In the first, you specify a single group-by column and a stats field:
>       statsMap = gbc.getStats(tableName, scan, groupByFamily, groupByQualifier, statsFamily, statsQualifier, statsFieldColumnInterpreter);
> The result is a map with the Group By column value (as a String) to a GroupByStatsValues object. The GroupByStatsValues object has max,min,sum etc. of the stats column for that group.
> 2. The second implementation allows you to specify a list of group-by columns and a stats field. The List of group-by columns is expected to contain lists of {column family, qualifier} pairs. 
>       statsMap = gbc.getStats(tableName, scan, listOfGroupByColumns, statsFamily, statsQualifier, statsFieldColumnInterpreter);
> The GroupByStatsValues code is adapted from the Solr Stats component.
