> It would be nice to have a developers' API for dataset transformations that need more than one column from a row (ie UnaryTransformer inputs one column and outputs one column) or that contain objects too expensive to initialize repeatedly in a UDF such as a database connection. 
>  
> Design:
> Abstract class PartitionTransformer extends Transformer and defines the partition transformation function as Iterator[Row] => Iterator[Row]
> NB: This parallels the UnaryTransformer createTransformFunc method
>  
> When developers subclass this transformer, they can provide their own schema for the output Row in which case the PartitionTransformer creates a row encoder and executes the transformation. Alternatively the developer can set output Datatype and output col name. Then the PartitionTransformer class will create a new schema, a row encoder, and execute the transformation.
