Examples

## Not run: 
##D schema <- structType(structField("a", "integer"), structField("c", "string"),
##D                       structField("avg", "double"))
##D df1 <- gapply(df, list("a", "c"),
##D               function(key, x) { y <- data.frame(key, mean(x$b), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) },
##D               schema)
##D schema <- structType("a INT, c STRING, avg DOUBLE")
##D df1 <- gapply(df, list("a", "c"),
##D               function(key, x) { y <- data.frame(key, mean(x$b), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) },
