Add zipWithIndexAndSize() about jool HOT 3 CLOSED

Would a zipWithIndexAndSize() make sense for you or is there a way around that I'm not seeing right now?

The fact that there is a keyword and in your method name hints at this practice not scaling at all in terms of API design. If we did this here, then we'd have to do it everywhere, as someone might eventually request crossJoinAndSize() or flatMapAndSize(), or just plain zipWithSize()

When in fact, you could just write:

seq.zipWithIndex()
   .map(t -> tuple(t.v1, t.v2, list.size()))

Or, if you don't have access to the original list, use jOOλ's window API:

seq.window()
   .map(w -> tuple(w.value(), w.rowNumber(), w.count()));

Hi, thx for the feedback.

Window functions! Seq has window functions! I cant see this here. And I couldn't see it on your github page. I found your blog post after googling it. How did I not know this? Why isn't that advertised on your github page?

Why isn't that advertised on your github page?

I'm still reluctant to advertise it too much, because the implementation is not optimised as much as it could have been. Once you use window frames, algorithms tend to be O(n^2) instead of O(n log n).

Some limitations include:

• #165
• #177

There's a lot of research in this area, which we have currently not investigated: http://vldb.org/pvldb/vol5/p1244_yucao_vldb2012.pdf
