This PR adds two new aggregate types,
min byandmax by, as well as UI support and tests. These aggregates take two columns rather than one, similar to theweighted meanaggregate, and will return the value from the first column, which corresponds with the max row from the second. For this dataset:we can use the
max byaggregate to select string from column "c" which corresponds to the maximum "a" for every group "b".
